        abstract = {The This project presents a comprehensive security solution for military storage rooms by combining dual authentication (RFID and facial recognition) with an autonomous surveillance robot. The system is designed to enhance security by using an ESP-32 to control an RFID reader, while a Python-based facial recognition program verifies the identity of authorised personnel. If both credentials match, the system opens the door using an L298 motor driver and a DVD loader mechanism. In case of a mismatch between the RFID and facial data, the system sends an alert through Telegram chatbot along with video footage. Simultaneously, an autonomous robot inside the storage room is activated, which tracks the intruder using a camera mounted on a pan-tilt mechanism controlled bya Raspberry Pi. The robot, equipped with a laser pointer, warns the intruder before escalating further actions. This project aims to provide real-time monitoring, automated threat detection, and response to secure high-value military assets.},
