Abstract

In today's fast-paced world, parents find themselves navigating a complex web of responsibilities, from demanding work commitments to the daily rigors of domestic life and the ever-present demands of parenting. In the midst of this juggling act, the task of ensuring the safety and well-being of their toddlers can become an increasingly daunting challenge. Nevertheless, with the advancement of technology, it is conceivable to develop an intelligent robot that can assist parents in watching their children and detecting potential threats. In this proposal, we present a concept for an intelligent robot capable of watching children remotely, detecting unauthorized presence, and alerting parents as required. The potential for further development of this robot extends beyond the realm of individual households. Its capabilities can be expanded to encompass the monitoring of children in nursery schools, play areas, and childcare centers. By adapting the robot's functionalities and incorporating features specific to these environments, this technology can be effectively utilized to ensure the safety and supervision of children in broader settings.
