Care Companion: Designing an AI + IoT Healthcare Rover

Care Companion combines AI and IoT for home-care monitoring.

My Scope

I implemented all software modules and led the team workflow.

Software Modules

  • Sensor data collection pipeline
  • Voice command handling
  • Motor control logic
  • Flask dashboard for caregiver monitoring
  • OpenCV + MobileNetSSD vision inference

Hardware Integration

  • Raspberry Pi 4 as AI core
  • Arduino for sensor communication
  • DHT11, MQ-2, pulse, and flame sensors

Measured Result

Real-time human detection ran at around 60 FPS on Raspberry Pi 4 during testing.

Takeaway

Stable embedded software boundaries (sensing, control, dashboard, vision) are essential for reliable AI + IoT systems.
