Robotics has significantly advanced human evolution by optimizing tasks in fields such as medicine, engineering, and mechanics, enhancing daily life through various robotic prototypes. These innovations help prevent accidents and injuries, whether at home or in hazardous environments. For instance, sensors can detect gas leaks, fires, and other potential disasters. This research aims to design a prototype adaptable to any home environment that poses risks to infants, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or stairs. The proposed prototype incorporates gas, motion, and sound sensors connected to a Wi-Fi ESP 32 module, which alerts parents to any potential danger to their children. The research is developed in six phases: component selection, circuit simulation, prototype design, three-dimensional (3D) printing, code programming, and final testing. The results demonstrate a positive impact, improving the control and care of infants by alerting parents to hazards such as gas leaks, crying, or movement in risky areas. The conclusion confirms the effectiveness of the prototype in providing timely alerts to safeguard infants in potentially dangerous situations.
