RoboCop; A Robust Surveillance Robot

This research paper discusses a surveillance robot Robocop that is controlled through a webpage and can be accessed remotely. Robocop is a kind of a surveillance robot which has been designed to capture and monitor the environment by providing live video streaming which eliminates the need of a human after being thrown at a place and is able to cover rough terrains as well. It is robust enough to bear stresses while being thrown at a place and not break and will have the ability to stable itself when landed in wrong orientation. In areas where it is difficult for humans to go or where the life of humans can be in danger (like the places containing explosive things or harmful gases) Robocop can be used in such environments. The main controller of this robot is Raspberry Pi 3B+ which will be the brain of this robot. The whole system is programmed on Raspberry Pi which will communicate with the webpage controller and make the robot work. The orientation of the robot will be decided by the tilt switch used in the robot which will make the robot move in the correct direction based on the command sent to it. The communication medium used in this robot is Wi-Fi which will receive and send signals. The Ultrasonic sensors are used for obstacle avoidance when the robot will run on autonomous mode otherwise it can be controlled through the webpage. Through testing we found that Robocop is able to bear the pay load of about 12 KGs. Such surveillance robots has a wide range of applications and can be used in the field of army, human rescuing and for the civilian security as well.
