Abstract: This study presents the development of a human- controlled ground search and rescue robot with victim localization using modified BLE beacons and an ESP32 camera. The system is designed to aid rescuers during search and rescue operations, reducing their risk by providing ambient conditions and live video footage of the vicinity. The system uses Arduino as its microcontroller and HC-12 transceiver modules to wirelessly control the robot. The system is also equipped with a GPS Module and a BLE Beacon to track the location of the robot. Through numerous tests, the robot can accommodate the rescuers in the localization of victims, and the researchers recommend further improving some functions of the robot.

Keywords: Ground Search and Rescue Robot, BLE Beacon, ESP32 Camera, Global Positioning System (GPS), HC-12 Transceiver Module.
