In the modern era, monitoring and engaging the students in the classroom is a tedious process for the teacher among their other academic activities. In our paper we have attempted to create a system to monitor as well as manage classrooms whenever teachers are absent through the creation of an affordable automated Smart Classroom Monitoring Mobile Robot. Developed around ESP32 the Smart Classroom Monitoring Mobile Robot utilises time-based teacher confirmations, IR sensors to follow a predefined path, ultrasonic sensor to avoid collisions, RFID module for teacher identity check, Real-Time Clock (RTC) module to follow schedule of classes and DFPlayer Mini MP3 for playing pre-recorded motivational audio stories to engross the students in constructive academic activities. The robot not only self-navigates within the classroom at time of teacher’s absence but also sends an automatic alert on the principal’s / administrator’s mobiles through Blynk IoT platform. The entire system is simple to use, user-friendly and affordable. This paper explains the system architecture, methodologies, utilised hardware components and their specifications, software modules developed and outcome of the Smart Classroom Robot for effective educational monitoring.
