Intelligent Surveillance Using Robot Eye and Sensor System

Abstract

Majority of the advancements, which have been made in the field of robotics are employed in household applications. Surveillance systems are used in guarding and security applications of household and workplaces. This paper presents an advanced surveillance system which integrates sensor system, robot technology and intelligent programming. Robotic surveillance system can be used to replace human guards in dangerous surveillance conditions. Several robots have been developed to assist in these operations. But the full scale employment of robots in crucial fields such as surveillance, security in defence industries and military bases is very limited. The system's overall structure is described, along with descriptions of each component. The robotic system consists of robot eyes, which are capable of sensing an object through IR sensor capability. This robotic system helps in the identification of human presence and alerting respective owners. These operations, performed by the robotic system are achieved using sensors, several number of servo motors, Arduino microcontroller. These components are placed in their respective locations, within a body which is fabricated using the 3D printing technology. The sensors in the robotic system capture the movements of objects. The robotic eyes are fitted with cameras which capture the movements. The robotic system is programmed in such a way that the robotic eyes, move in the direction of object which has been sensed by the sensors and focus on it. If there are multiple moving objects, then one robotic eye focuses on one object, while the other robotic eye focuses on another object. The captured surveillance footage can be viewed through a monitor connected to the robotic system.
