Abstract - An Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is a battery operated remote controlled robot on wheels which is created with the preliminary function of moving around in an area and capturing visual information to carry out specific task at hazardous locations where human access is difficult. It can negotiate steep and gentle slopes, can travel through narrow corridors, and tow objects to reach risky regions. Using its robotic arm, it can elevate objects, move the objects to other positions of sites and move unnecessary objects out of its way. With IoT enabled feature it can be remotely controlled over the range. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the field of robotics has led to the emergence of a new class of technologically advanced machines capable of executing a wide range of functions, including remote control, live video streaming and autonomous navigation. The proposed Unmanned ground vehicle, for instance, is outfitted with a robotic arm and an ESP-32 cam module i.e. microcontroller that enables it to transmit live video footage and receive instructions from a user in real-time to perform a specific task with the help of a robotic arm. The purpose of the robot is to traverse a designated area, capturing and transmitting live video information that can be viewed by authorized personnel on a remote screen, thus facilitating the various actions as per the necessary requirements. The vehicle has extensive applications in sectors such as defence, healthcare, apartment security, and more.
