EduPorter-Autonomous Campus Assistant Robo

The rapid growth of automation and service robotics has opened new opportunities for improving operational efficiency in public and institutional environments educational campuses, in particular, require frequent transportation of materials, visitor guidance, and inter-departmental coordination, which are often performed manually and are time-consuming. This paper presents the design and development of “EduPorter – Autonomous Campus Assistant Robo.” A service-based autonomous robot intended to assist educational institutions in routine logistical tasks. The proposed system integrates line-following navigation, obstacle detection, wireless communication, and real-time monitoring to perform material delivery and guidance functions with minimal human intervention. An ESP32-based control system combined with IR sensors, Proximity sensors. ESP32 camera module, and motor driver circuitry, enables reliable navigation and safe operation in dynamic campus environments. The system demonstrates improved efficiency reduced manpower dependency, and enhanced user experience. The proposed robot provides a scalable and cost-effective solution for smart campus automation and lays the groundwork for future advancements in service robotics
