The rover comprises a mobile chassis, a navigation controller, an on-board compute module, and a sensor suite including LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU, and GNSS. The rover navigates using hybrid localization, performs sensor fusion for real-time obstacle avoidance, and supports a dual-mode control architecture permitting both autonomous waypoint patrols and remote manual control. Visual frames of detected persons are selectively transmitted to a centralized on-premises server for high-accuracy biometric identification. On detection of unauthorized individuals, the system issues alerts and logs encrypted evidence. The architecture supports modular hardware substitution, fleet deployment, and fail-safe overrides for safety."
