This article presents a novel three-dimensional printed robot for crowd surveillance called VISU. VISU captures surroundings using inbuilt camera and transmits them to the cloud. VISU's cloud architecture is connected to the criminal and suspect database provided by police authority. The captured crowd data is compared with criminal or suspect images and the authorities are alerted in case of any match. The algorithm detects the number of people captured in each frame and the authorities are prompted with the number of people in the crowd. With the help of instance segmentation, authorities can track every persons movement in the surroundings.
