Robotic system for recording ambience temperature with live tracking

Though the wireless sensor networks offer new possibilities and capabilities, there are a number of issues that hinder their development in practice. It can be argued that robotics can solve or greatly reduce the impact of many of these issues. This work reviews a new way of sensing the temperature of remote locations particularly where a human-being cannot reach by using the navigation system. The developed navigation system is a temperature sensing robot that can function autonomously or can be controlled by a human operator. It is equipped with on-board processor, Two RF communication channels and a best platform for mobility. It is preprogrammed using AT89S52 Microcontroller. The system is under the direct control of the user. In the autonomous mode, the robot will travel to some distance in the prescribed direction as per the predefined commands. The navigation system has a temperature sensor on its board which can be operated either using the base station or whenever the collision occurs. The system is embedded with a CCD Camera to capture the images of the locations traversed by the moving system. The images can be captured with the help of a TV Tuner dongle.
