Zigbee Based Surveillance Robot

Surveillance is the process of monitoring a situation, an area or a person. This


generally occurs in a military scenario where surveillance of borderlines and enemy
territory is essential to a country’s safety. Human surveillance is achieved by deploying
personnel near sensitive areas in order to constantly monitor for changes. But humans do
have their limitations, and deployment in inaccessible places is not always possible.
There are also added risks of losing personnel in the event of getting caught by the
enemy. With advances in technology over the years, however, it is possibly to remotely
monitor areas of importance by using robots in place of humans. Apart from the obvious
advantage of not having to risk any personnel, terrestrial and aerial robots can also pick
up details that are not obvious to humans. By equipping them with high resolution
cameras and various sensors, it is possible to obtain information about the specific area
remotely.

Robot is a system that contains sensors, control systems, manipulators, power


supplies and software all working together to perform a task. Designing, building,
programming and testing a robot is a combination of physics, mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, structural engineering, mathematics and computing .

Joystick Shield is interfaced with Arduino Uno board. The user can control robot
movements such as forward, backward, left, right, stop etc. as well as servo movement to
rotate camera to left, right, up, down etc. In this we are using two servo motors to rotate
camera in dual axis i.e. azimuth and elevation. The zigbee module transmits commands to
robot. Wireless AV Camera is arranged on the dual axis servo bracket. It is used transmit
live video to remote end. The ATMEGA328 microcontroller processes data and controls
robot movements through L293d motor driver circuit. The dc motors are interfaced with
the L293d circuit.

We can use wireless camera on the robot for surveillance purpose so that it remotely
transmits live video & audio to PC.
