Abstract: This invention describes an enhanced robotic system designed to perform obstacle avoidance and fall detection. The robot uses distance sensors to identify obstacles in its path and automatically changes direction to prevent collisions. A motion sensor is incorporated to detect sudden movements or orientation changes that may indicate a fall event. A microcontroller processes sensor inputs and controls the movement of the robot. The system improves safety and monitoring capabilities and can be used in applications such as healthcare assistance, elderly care, and smart home environments.
