— Due to new developed technology man is leading a comfortable life. People want each work should be done automatically. So in this paper introduces a system called UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE. UGV as name indicate it operates in contact with ground and without any human resource. The vehicle will have a set of sensors to observe the environment. In this paper for the working of UGV, FPGA is embedded with image processing. FPGA as main processing platform used to control UGV. The performance evaluation of proposed system takes place by capturing the image of UGV with help of camera. This system demonstrate accurate localization of UGV. This UGV vehicle used in military, mall, automobile industry. To work system properly provide proper interfacing and synchronization between hardware/software module. Keywords— FPGA, image processing.

In the present day world, a lot of research has been going on in the field of unmanned vehicles, which includes unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) and unmanned water vehicles (UWVs). The UGV technology grows rapidly. Generally UGV is developed for military purpose. Now a days, many universities and research institute are researching in new UGV technology for commercial use such as transportation service. The UGV system generally consists of four parts such as vehicle control system, navigation system, and obstacle detecting system and traffic signal monitoring and detection system. In this project, we have designed and implemented a prototype of UGV using PIC 16F57 microcontroller on board the Board of Education (BOE) development board designed by Parallax Inc, USA. This UGV prototype was used to simulate acts performed by a real car on urban environment which include navigation, obstacle avoidance, collision avoidance at intersection of two roads, traffic signal detection and feed backing the current coordinates of the vehicle to the control room for tracking of the vehicle.

Our project “Unmanned Ground Vehicle” is built to undertake missions like border patrol, surveillance and in active combat both as a standalone unit (automatic) as well as in co-ordination with human soldiers (manual). It is a prototype illustrating the ever expanding need for sophisticated technology and precision driven vehicles catering to the present day needs for a first line of defence. A person from a remote place can comfortably control the motion of the robot wirelessly and in situations where manual control is not prudent, the vehicle is capable of reaching the pre-programmed destination on its own. This defence system of ours has two units- one is the control unit (to control mobility) and the other is the motion tracking unit. Both these units have two modes- Automatic and Manual. This robot would be armed with an automatic weapon mounted onto a turret and a remote operator would be getting a live video feed from the camera to help him manually control both the above mentioned units of the rover. The rover is also capable of automatically tracking movement of objects in its range of vision. The manual modes of the rover are controlled by a human operator and live video is fed back to the base station. The turret will follow the movement of a joystick or a mouse. There is an additional ARMCON controller which helps the soldier on war field to control the rover using wireless modem. The UGV will be controlled by hand gestures which are tracked by the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit).

Some of the most prominent problems facing the world today are Terrorism and Insurgency. Governments and scientists across the globe are working day and night in order to bring these problems under control. Billions of dollars are spent by nations for the research of new defense systems which are capable of safeguarding citizens from terrorist threats. Nowadays with major advancements in the field of vehicle automation, several dangerous and crucial counter terrorist operations are being handled by sophisticated machines which are not only more efficient but are also responsible for saving several human lives.

An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle that touches the ground and has the ability to function and perform task without any human on board. Automated vehicles can operate off-road and on-road while navigating, and can be used in military operations such as bomb detection, border patrol, cargo transport, search, rescue, etc. to reduce the danger to the soldiers and to fulfill other tasks. UGVs can be used in many applications where driver presence may be inconvenient, dangerous or impossible. Vehicles typically have a number of sensors that monitor the surroundings and make autonomous decisions about vehicle behavior or communicate information to other operators who will be driving the UGV. These types of vehicles mainly use sensors to monitor their surroundings and automatically make their own decisions in unpredictable situations and unknown information, or they use this information to transmit this information through various means of communication to the operator controlling the UGV when assistance is needed. These UGVs can send visual feedback to ground station operators. We have proposed four main UGV specifications. Metal detectors and robots that search for metal or bombs have fire extinguishers. Camera is used for the scrutiny using wireless technology. The on-board sensors transmit the entire vehicle environment to the driver in the form of signals. The UGV is tasked with patrolling the border between the two areas without human guidance. This function can be achieved by implementing GPS, a magnetic compass, to measure the angle of rotation and correct the course, avoiding obstacles such as mountains, trees and oceans. This route planning strategy is a key program in which the robot acts autonomously. Finally, a warning message and the location (coordinates) are sent from the UGV to this location via GSM and GPS. This robot is an unmanned robot that can be remotely controlled using a transceiver using RF technology.

In recent years, more and more technical systems dispose of some form of intelligence which allows to control and diagnose the processes and states in such systems. One important prerequisite for both control and diagnosis is monitoring, i.e. a systematic observation, surveillance or recording of entities of a technical product or its surroundings by any technical means. Current investigations were able to clarify that the design of a technical system can ease the control and diagnosis of this system. The same is true for monitoring; this fact will be demonstrated in this paper on the example of a research vehicle which is intended to foster the development of mapping systems and algorithms. In a sense, the main objective of this vehicle is also a kind of monitoring. Due to its unique design, this vehicle is able to navigate on all kind of terrains. It is equipped with several forms of sensors, which are consciously mounted at certain positions on the vehicle in order to allow a det...

Motors are the necessary machines in the production of Robots and many Automation and Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical devices. This article deals with motors which are to be interfaced with the help of NI-MYRIO through NI-LabVIEW software. NI-MYRIO has inbuilt Analog and Digital signal Ports which provide necessary voltage and current to drive or to give excitation to a medium/high voltage dc or ac circuit. Relay Circuits require 5V signal from NI-MYRIO to provide 12V input for the DC Motor. When NI-MYRIO is interfaced with motors and PC installed with LabVIEW 2014, then with the help of PC or a Smartphone one can control the movements of the DC Motor

This project describes the design, simulation and manufacturing procedure of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) surveillance robot which can be operated with a remote manually within a range of 600 meter in open space. The wireless controller is based on Radio Frequency. It has been designed following the design of a tank robot but it is not exactly like the traditional tank robot. It can rotate 360 degree and can tilt 180 degree and after that it can still work normally. This robot can monitor condition of the place like temperature and presence of natural gas. A camera is attached with this robot with which it can observe the condition of the site through internet. It also contain a coil gun with which it can attack enemy within a range of 10 fit and has also obstacle detector to protect itself.
