DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF WIRELESS ROBOTIC VIDEO TRANSMITTER

Design and construction of a wireless robotic video transmitter is discussed in this work. The proposed robot can be used both in civilandmilitaryfields.Thedesignandplacementofvarioussensors,wheelsystem, mechanicalar msaswellaswirelesscommunication mechanism and remote controlling mechanism are discussed here in details. The coordination of its variousparts to perform different jobs is also discussed. The movement of the proposed robot can be controlled wirelessly either fromthe control unit within its transmitter's range or from a GSM cellular mobile from any distance where corresponding mobilenetwork is available. After constructing the robot, it was tested in indoor and outdoor and found working well. For civil use, itcan be used in detecting gas leak in home or industry, surveillance of shopping mall, parking lot, office, industry, bank,museum etc., helping rescue operation during natural disaster and aftermath as well as supplying food or other essentials to thepeople under unreachable ruin where human access is difficult or risky. The required information is based on the input obtained from a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) with battery of 12v. As the first step toward achieving the goal, it is necessary to have a mobile robot for the detection of motion of any-thing, any gas leakages and the presence of heat in that particular unstructured environment. REMOTEC is now commercializing the SURBOT technology on wheeled mobile robot for used in places such as nuclear power plants, atomic power plants and other hazardous environments.
