Embedded Design and Implementation of Mobile Robot for Surveillance Applications

Abstract

The surveillance and security of areas such as home, laboratory, office, factory, and airports, are important to prevent any threatening to human lives. Mobile robots are proven their effectiveness in a large number of applications, especially in hazardous areas where they can be remotely controlled by humans to accomplish certain tasks. This research paper presents a design and implementation of a mobile robot for surveillance and security applications. The main objective of the design is to lower the cost and the power consumption of the mobile robot which accomplish using low-cost open-source hardware such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The robot is connected wirelessly via a low-power ZigBee module to the control station to allow the operator for controlling the mobile robot motions and monitoring the physical events in the environment where the robot is used. Sensors such as camera, temperature, and range are embedded in the robot to sense and monitor human motion, the room temperature, and the distance of the surrounding obstacles. The testing of the implemented mobile robot shows that it can run continuously for approximately 6.5 hours at a motor shaft speed 25 rpm of unlit the need to recharge the battery.

Design of Robust Control for Vehicle Steer-by-Wire System

“…Another future work can utilize different modern optimization algorithms to enhance the performance of ISMC by optimal tuning of its design parameters (Al-Qassar et al, 2021a;Abdul-Kareem et al, 2022). In addition, the proposed ISMC can be implemented in a real-time environment by conducting embedded system design using advanced hardware technologies (Al-Obaidi et al, 2021;Hassan et al, 2022).…”

Ultrasonic sensor decision-making algorithm for mobile robot motion in maze environment

“…Kathe et al [23] presented a direction envelope algorithm for processing the image and finding the path which runs faster because of pre-obtaining the maze data instead of going through the maze environment cell by cell. Combination between multiple-objective optimization and multiple non-holonomic mobile robots navigation for the purpose of path planning and control using an improved evolutionary algorithm and fuzzy logic controller, multi-objective optimization of path and trajectory planning [24], [25].…”

Design and development of a quadruped home surveillance robot

“…Al-Obaidi et al [18] developed a wireless-controlled mobile robot with low cost and low power consumption for surveillance applications. Arduino and Raspberry Pi (low-cost open-source hardware) were used for motion control and the main processing unit, respectively.…”
