  • As the price of LiDAR developed for autonomous driving has dropped dramatically, LiDAR has begun to be applied in various fields. Typical examples are vacuum cleaner robots, autonomous delivery robots, and autonomous obstacle avoidance drones. LiDAR is becoming the only means of figuring out the location of an object in real time while compensating for the weakness that 2D or 3D cameras are vulnerable to lighting. In this paper, we propose a method to monitor the movement of a patient by installing a 2D lidar in a hospital room. When a patient who needs intensive monitoring due to psychologically unstable, suicidal intention, or psychotic findings is alone in the ward, 2D LiDAR monitors the patient's movement and sends an appropriate alarm to the management room to effectively monitor the patient. devised a way to do it.

  • In this dissertation, a we designed and implemented a patrol robot that integrates a thermal imaging camera, speed dome camera, PTZ camera, radar, lidar sensor, and smartphone. This robot has the ability to monitor and respond efficiently even in complex environments, and is especially designed to demonstrate high performance even at night or in low visibility conditions. An orbital movement system was selected for the robot's mobility, and a smartphone-based control system was developed for real-time data processing and decision-making. The combination of various sensors allows the robot to comprehensively perceive the environment and quickly detect hazards. Thermal imaging cameras are used for night surveillance, speed domes and PTZ cameras are used for wide-area monitoring, and radar and LIDAR are used for obstacle detection and avoidance. The smartphone-based control system provides a user-friendly interface. The proposed robot system can be used in various fields such as security, surveillance, and disaster response. Future research should include improving the robot's autonomous patrol algorithm, developing a multi-robot collaboration system, and long-term testing in a real environment. This study is expected to contribute to the development of the field of intelligent surveillance robots.
