Military Purpose Robot

Abstract

In modern world many countries are working on different technologies. Hence, safety of soldiers and army personnel who fight for national security of their respective country need to considered. During warfare many of the soldiers lose their lives in abandoned areas or at borders. Landmines are an explosive weapon which may be or may not be buried under the soil and activated by a mere pressure of 9kg when someone steps on it. It also has an adverse effect on environment such as damage to soil structure, reducing soil productivity and increase vulnerability of soil to water and wind erosion. Mines also kill innocent civilians and soldiers after war ends. In order to save the lives of soldiers and diffuse the mines this paper is proposing a robotic vehicle with a metal detector which is capable of sensing mine ahead of it. It will also detect position of landmine and send latitude, longitude coordinates using GPS module. and also, Video 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. We have developed a robot which can be used for video surveillance & monitoring which can be controlled through a GUI. The control mechanism is provided with a video transmission facility. The video transmission is practically achieved through high-speed image transmission. Initially, the robot will be equipped with a camera which will capture the scenes and transfer the images to the server on which the user will be controlling and watching the live feed.
