ToxiBot: Your Wearable Guardian

ToxiBot: Your Wearabale Guardian

Imagine a helmet that doesn’t just protect your head; it protects your lungs, your life, and even your future. That’s the idea behind ToxiBot; A helmet designed especially for sanitation workers working in hazardous environments like sewers, septic tanks, or drainage lines, loaded with intelligent tech that works quietly in the background while one focuses on the tasks ahead.

Built with gas sensors (like MQ2 and MQ8), the helmet constantly detects the air for dangerous gases like methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and more. If it detects a threat, it instantly triggers an alert via a buzzer and also gives an alert in an app.

At the same time, a compact ESP32-CAM module embedded within a pan and tilt servo arrangement constantly clicks photos of the surrounding area. Whether it's for remote monitoring or post-task review, the camera ensures full visibility without ever getting in the way.

The helmet can access any Wi-fi or hotspot making it portable and convenient. Workers can link up directly to the helmet’s stream from a phone or laptop within range, making it ideal for underground or low-connectivity zones.

The tech may be serious, but the approach is simple; give the user critical details without distraction. This device is lightweight, rugged and efficient. ToxiBot doesn’t just follow safety protocols; it redefines them. This isn’t merely a piece of gear. It’s a guardian you wear.

5. Pan-and-tilt Servo

Before getting to work with physical material, it's wise to create a 3-D representation of what you wish to create using a software such as Fusion.

Attach the necessary electrical hardware to the vest and the helmet to create the Toxibot Device. We're calling the helmet the SafetyHelm and the vest the SafetyVest.

Get a buddy to test out your devices! Monitor results and keep track of the changes recorded by the sensors.

Your wearable guardian is ready!
