However, there exams or tests, especially when a large number of people are involved, are usually associated with high manpower costs. These manpower costs arise from the large number of human invigilators deployed in the exam setting. This project will focus on the design and developments of invigilating robot. That will serve in examination setup and ensure the proper operation while the exam is in progress. It will not only minimize the manpower costs but also the unnecessary human error caused. It can replace human invigilators to distribute papers, verify candidates' identity, communicate with candidates when problems arise, etc. It has huge potential market values and can be widely used in all types of exams with some modifications to it functions .. Only one main invigilator is needed to control the robot. To Fabricate this, the interfaced devices are PIC microcontroller, camera, DC gear motors and IR sensor ultrasonic sensor."
