Combat and Spy Robot
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryMilitary Forces have been using advanced gadgets and robots over the years to reduce the risk of human causalities and defeat enemies. With the development in sophisticated technology and advancement in embedded systems, robots of today are faster and more intelligent. Robots are actively being used in surveillance, rescue and other services. These robots can be autonomous or remotely controlled. Proposed Project is also a fully remote controlled robot that can climb stairs and move on the rough terrain. An embedded platform is used to control the robot movement. Embedded controller will receive remote signals over a wireless channel and move the robot accordingly. Operator in the base station can point and target an enemy through a pointing device mounted on the robot assembly. Proposed robot design has a night vision camera that sends live video to the base station. Robot operator can use the video feed to control robot movement or target the enemy. Based upon the operator, control signals will be sent to an embedded system using remote that will move robot in forward, backward and left right directions. It will also control the movement of camera and the point device.
The Raspberry pi 3 will be used as embedded platform. Movement of robot will be controlled through DC gear motors and motor drivers. Proposed robot design is a cost effective solution that can help the armed forces and rescue workers in combat and rescue operations. It can maneuver in places hit by natural disasters or enemy territory giving information about human life or enemy movement through live video feed. Robot design can also be made autonomous to reduce the human interaction.
Project ObjectivesObjectives of the project are to:
- Make a robot that can climb Stairs and perform combat tasks.
- Produce a robot that will help military in tactical operations like spy operations, hostage rescue operations.
- Make a robot that will controlled wirelessly.
- Develop a robot that stream live video.
- Develop a robot that used in surveillance system.
Proposed design methodology consist of a robot design, structure and the most important feature of this robot which is stair climbing. The robot assembly has a good mechanical structure so it can easily climb up the stairs. A camera is fixed on the robot base for live video streaming. The robot is remotely controlled and performs the task efficiently such that it can climb up the stairs and at the same time it will stream the live video. As this robot is a spy along with its combat features so it can also target the enemy when its sensors recognize the danger and shoots at them.
Main blocks of the proposed design methodology are shown in the block diagram and are described below:
Figure 1: Block Diagram of the Proposed Design
The proposed design is remotely controlled by the user; it takes input from the user and performs the specified task. Embedded platform is used to control the whole activity of the robot. Wireless signals given to the embedded platform from the base station for controlling of motor drivers which helps the robot to move on a smooth surface, rough terrain and also on the stairs. Wireless camera is used for live video streaming; it transmits signals to the Audio video receiver. By remotely control from the user end it will send to the places at night and by using the night vision camera it will move easily in the dark and make the live video after that it transmits it to the user end. The robot movement and speed is controlled by the motor drivers. The signal is generated from the base station and send it to the embedded platform, embedded platform generates the PWM signals accordingly these PWM signals then travel toward the motor driver to manage the movement of a robot. The robot has the ability to act as a combat features such as rescue operations. Signals are generated from the base station and received by the embedded platform which controls the motor driver. These motor drivers control the movement of pointing device to aim or target the enemy. A gun is mounted in a pointing device which is controlled by the motors. The gun is controlled by the base station, when the command is generated from the base station to the robot then it will target the enemy.
Benefits of the ProjectProposed project can help Military and Task Forces in different ways:
- Proposed technology can be extended to benefit military personnel in search and rescue operations.
- Acquire or monitor certain information about human subject in security and surveillance applications.
- Learning processed is enhanced.
- In different rough and deserted places, combat and spy robots can be used for hostage rescue.
In proposed design we will implement a complete working model of a Combat and Spy Robot.
The technical details of our project are as follows:
Stair Climbing:
The robot will be able to follow the instructions from the base station to climb the stairs.
Working area:
It will maneuver on any type of surface and deserted places.
Speed adjustment:
It will vary and adjust its speed with respect to the orders given from the base station.
Point and Target the Enemy:
It will be able to point and target the enemy and by following the orders shoot the targeted person from the gun that mounted in the robot chassis.
Live Video Streaming:
It will be able to send live video streaming to the base station.
Spying capability:
It will also have the night vision capabilities to perform spy action in night also.
