SURVEILLANCE ROBOT
[attachment=41668]
ABSTRACT
The law enforcement community needs a low-cost robot that can reduce or eliminate the danger for a bomb technician who must inspect, x-ray, and disrupt an explosive device — preferably in its original place or may be sometimes need to be relocated. Even when there is a fire or gas leakages there is a great danger for the humans working in an army. Approaching a device can be dangerous, since many points along the path to the bomb may be booby-trapped. Even when a bomb technician uses great care in inspecting or handling an explosive device, the possibility exists that the bomber is waiting nearby to remotely detonate the device or a secondary device when the bomb technician is within range.
A surveillance robot can reduce or eliminate the risk of potentially deadly scenarios and allow a bomb technician to focus on disabling the device. The same feature can be extended to be used in the war fields where the army might be required to go into the hostile situations where mines could have been laid. In such situations in case the human beings are allowed to go traverse over them there will be a major loss in the human resource. Even when the enemy performs a gas leakage or fires the building several humans may loose there life. Thus a need arises to handle such situation from a distance. Even if a Robot cannot diffuse a device or fails in its operation, it can still relay information to aid in selecting tools and procedures before a technician approaches a device. In addition, events recorded by a robot’s camera can provide evidence for future forensic purposes.
In our project we propose to design a robust wireless surveillance robot unit that would be capable of reaching close to the objects of threat and the real scenario can be observed through an onboard video camera which can send back video feedback to the observatory along with voice acknowledgements.
