A Surveillance Robot with Hopping Capabilities for Home Security


Abstract —
Most traditional home robots have always had problems with stairs, doorsills and other
obstacles that humans cross with ease in cluttered indoor environments. This paper
presents the development and characterization of a surveillance robot with hopping
capabilities for home security. The proposed robot can leap over obstacles. It can also roll
freely on flat floors and change its directions by the two-wheeled differential drive
system. It adopts the ZigBee protocol for wireless communication and therefore can be
added to a ZigBee-based home control network as a mobile video sensor node.
Experimental results verify that the prototype robot is a powerful home security device
that can patrol in cluttered home environments with ease1.
From the above IEEE paper is the inspiration for this project which aims
at designing control system for a robot such that the human robot is controlled using PC
and wireless ZIGBEE communication. In this project the controlling is done depending
on the feedback provided by the IR sensor, then the video vision will manipulate which is
human there or any being is there, this process is by utilizing the DIP technique the video
signals transmitted by the robot will be manipulated by DIP and if any human detection
occurs snap image will be stored in server pc.



PC Circuit
This unit is said to be the server of this project which mainly consist of PC and
microcontroller. The robo commands is generated by pc according to the key pressed
and the command is send to microcontroller which the command is send to the robo
through Zigbee wireless communication, in this unit the video signals from the robo are
received and given to the pc through USB stick. Pc will use DIP technology to trace
human detection or moving object detection




ROBO UNIT
Here this unit is with the robo which this unit is always in mobile condition. The
commands from the pc unit will receive and according to the command the controlling
of the robo is done by controlling motors. Not only controlling robo this unit will detect
object and give video signals of the detected object will be transmitted to the pc unit.
