Design And Implementation Of A Mobile Surveillance Robot With Night Vision Camera

ABSTRACT

Mobile surveillance robot is a robot which is used for the purpose of surveillance.

monitoring, analysis of data and gathering of information with or" ithout the approved

know ledge or the holder of the in formation and the timely d issem i nation nf in format ion

to those who need to know so that action can be taken. The designed mobile survei I lance

robot has a night vision camera with the ability to monitor its surrouncling. environment

and collect data from it. The need to survey secured place to prevent intruders. to reduce

labor force and cost attached to human surveillance of places. hazarclous places. in

repetitive _jobs, and areas impossible for human being to fit in gave rise to thl.! design

and implement of a mobile surveillance robot. The project is aimed flt designing and

impll.!rnenting a mobile surveillance robot, to develop a robot that can ,,ork

nt1tonomously nnd can be wirelessly controlled vi;i n remote control nncl ro se11cal udio

and video in real time of the surveyed surrounding. The mobile robot was fabric;ired

using acrylic plastics and has four wheels that helps in motion. It uses Arduino UNO

on it a ATmcga 328P microcontroller programmed to be the brain of the system. an

ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacle. a PIR for infrared ray sensing. cmitkd b) Ii, ing

creatures. a night vision camera. a RF 433MHz !or remote control and a motor shield

for driving the motors. The mobile robot can avoid obstacles within its environment

"hich allows it to be able to work with human being. The night vision camera having

a viewing angle of 180-degrees sends what its captures from the ell ironment in audio

and video format to the base station. It also allows the robot to be useful at night due to
