Autonomous 6WD Face-Recognizing Robot with Interactive TFT Touch Display for Intelligent Surveillance Applications

Abstract—This paper presents an autonomous six-wheel-drive
(6WD) face-recognizing robot integrated with an interactive TFT
touch display for intelligent surveillance applications. The system
combines computer vision, artificial intelligence, and embedded
systems to perform real-time facial recognition and autonomous

navigation. The robot employs ESP32-CAM for image acqui-
sition, OpenCV-based face detection algorithms, and Arduino

Uno for motor control, enabling both manual and autonomous
operation modes. Experimental results demonstrate 94-96%

recognition accuracy under optimal lighting conditions and effec-
tive obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensors. The interactive

TFT display provides real-time monitoring and control interface,
enhancing human-robot interaction. The proposed system offers a
scalable solution for applications in security surveillance,
attendance systems, and automated patrolling, demonstrating the
practical integration of AI with robotics in real-world scenarios.
