Amphibious Surveillance Robot with Smart Sensor Nodes
Robots have been widely used to perform variety of tasks which reduces the manual work specifically in remote areas where human accessibility is unimaginable. The main applications where the robots have exhibited their excellence include surveillance, tracking targets for military purposes and also for disaster management like searching and rescuing victims. This paper deals about an evolutionary Non-humanoid robot for surveillance with intruder protection capability. The unique feature of this surveillance robot is that it can travel both on land and water and is equipped with robotic arm to handle the work safely. It is armed with a low power high performance NXP processor which is able to manage power more efficiently. Besides being able to work in Semi-autonomous mode, the CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) along with camera aids the operator to control it in manual mode
