The utilization of robots is rapidly expanding across various industries, including manufacturing, hotels, hospitals, households, and education. These robots serve multiple purposes, such as assembly, material handling, and even has potential to provide guided tours to visitors in places like museums, colleges, and laboratories. This research paper focuses on the design and development of a self-explaining mobile robot specifically used for lab demonstrations. The primary objective of this project is to create a cost-effective and user-friendly robot capable of delivering informative lab tours to visitors. The robot incorporates infrared sensors to navigate its way throughout the lab, following a predetermined path. Additionally, the integration of a WIFI module enables the robot's remote activation and deactivation through an Android application. To enhance the visitors' experience, the robot is equipped with a dedicated sound system. This sound system provides detailed information about the lab's equipment, safety guidelines, and general lab procedures. The camera module plays a crucial role as it scans QR codes placed near specific equipment, triggering the sound system to deliver corresponding audio output. This project represents an innovative approach to introducing guests, students to the laboratory environment, creating a safe and informative experience that fosters their comfort and confidence within the lab setting.
