Design and Development of a Web Platform for Generating and Optimizing Patrol Routes for the PGuard Robot

Track

Full Stack

Reference: FULLSTACK003

Duration

4 to 6 months.

Description

For the operation of the PGuard autonomous security robot, Enova Robotics aims to develop a standalone web platform capable of automatically generating and optimizing patrol routes for a site.

Features and Tasks

• Role management: administrators create user or administrator accounts and assign robots to users. Each user is responsible for one or more assigned robots and manages only those robots.
• Administrator dashboard: monitor each user and their robots’ activities, including generated routes, completed patrols, distance, duration, and battery consumption.
• Site map design: use Leaflet and OpenStreetMap to define patrol areas, navigable paths, restricted zones, and the charging station.
• Route network generation: convert drawn paths or OSM data into a graph with nodes and weighted edges.
• Checkpoint management: place checkpoints with priorities and visit frequencies.
• Optimal route generation: cover all checkpoints and return to the charging station using shortest-path algorithms such as Dijkstra or A*, together with visit-order optimization using nearest neighbor and 2-opt.
• Constraint handling: account for battery range, restricted zones, and more frequent visits to high-priority checkpoints.
• Simulation and monitoring: provide an animated simulation of the robot following the route, including distance, duration, and battery, as well as robot status such as idle, patrolling, and charging.
• History and reporting: enable route comparison, history, route export in GeoJSON/JSON, and PDF report generation.
