An interactive robot design to find missing people and inform their location by real-time face recognition system on moving images

In every country over the world, missing children and adults is a social problem. This problem affects both the relatives of the missing people and the community materially and morally. This article presents a new and original project developed to find a solution to this major social problem. There are three main parts of the project that are synchronized and interactive with each other. Each main part has its own sub-parts. In the first main part, there are units consisted of a robot working structure wandering around the outer world with a radio control (R/C) camera, solar power panel, and shock device unit. In the second main part, there is an interface program with implementations such as face recognition, short message service (SMS) sending, and warning programmed in the computer. In the third main part, there is a mobile phone and communication process on the robot transferring the information regarding the location. Finding the missing people is realized by synchronous communication of the robot and the interface implementation. As a result, an important study was carried out for the process of finding missing persons, which is a common and major social problem of the whole world.
