J1Project 01 / 03
Industrial safety rover
A four-wheel robot that patrols an industrial site on its own when no one is there. A Raspberry Pi 5 and a camera drive it with AI; its sensors watch for fire, gas and dangerous humidity, and a live dashboard flips to a full-screen warning the moment something is wrong. It lights up as it moves. Built with a team.
