        abstract = {The increasing need for unmanned robotic systems that can work in hazardous and unknown environments has driven the development of intelligent obstacle detection and autonomous navigation technologies. This paper presents the design and development of an autonomous defense surveillance and obstacle avoiding robotic system based on Arduino with radar based environmental scanning, real time monitoring and inbuilt alert systems. To achieve continuous ambient scanning with radar-like capabilities in different directions, the engineered robotic platform has two ultrasonic sensors mounted on servo motors. The ultrasonic sensing system continuously measures the obstacle distance and sends the sensing data to the Arduino controller for immediate processing and to control autonomous navigation. The robotic platform autonomously plans collision-free trajectories and performs complex navigation manoeuvres such as forward movement, left and right turns, reverse movement and obstacle avoidance depending on obstacle positions and environment factors. The implemented navigation algorithm allows for efficient operation in unknown and dynamic environments suitable for surveillance applications. The robotic system consists of an I2C LCD module to observe the obstacle distance, navigation status and alert messages in real time. The system incorporates a buzzer based alert system to warn immediately if surrounding obstacles are detected within defined safety thresholds.},
