drivers for Stepper motor which is used for the movement
of the robot, stepper motor system with drivers to
accurately position the long range high resolution camera,
independent of the movement of the robot, to capture
images and ultrasonic sensor to find the distance of the
object from the camera. GPS/GSM system is used to get
location details of the enemy target. The communication
between the base station and the robot happens through
modern Wi-Fi module. Communication between the
camera and its Graphical interface is done serially. Camera
is used to take real time video and the captured images are
compared with the images stored in the database. After
verifying the captured images with the data base,
appropriate commands are issued to the robot using the
GUI.
V. CONCLUSION
The “Military Surveillance Robot” is a highly
helping system with the help of cell phone or laptop
through Wi-Fi medium and can get the live streaming of
video over areas such as border areas, multinational
companies and in industries. The robot will roam around
and capture videos from the surrounding to keep a record of
details of incident happened. With the help of this robot we
can know the real time condition of border area without
using any human source. The robot gives us the live
steaming video according to that we give the command.
