Abstract: The present disclosure relates to context-aware autonomous circular announcement robot with dual-layer modular architecture and adaptive interaction. The system comprises a perception layer including a camera and/or depth sensor module and a high-level processing unit configured for environmental sensing, visual data acquisition, and context evaluation. An execution layer includes a microcontroller unit, motor driver module, sensor array, battery pack, and wheel and drive mechanism for real-time control and navigation. A hierarchical processing architecture distributes computational and control tasks between the layers. The system further includes a navigation module configured for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), a context analysis engine configured to evaluate environmental parameters including noise level, activity, occupancy, and time conditions, and an announcement module configured to deliver circular information in audible form. The system autonomously navigates to designated locations and adaptively determines timing and mode of announcement delivery based on contextual conditions.
