DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMATRONICS ROBOT
Abstract
This project's main goal is to create a surveillance robot with the intention of lowering the number of deaths in conflict areas. Users may use an Android smartphone to control the robot's movements. With an ESP32 camera, the robot uses the Internet of Things to provide live video to the user's mobile device. While watching the live stream, users may also operate the robot and turn on a laser light that doubles as a gun via a web browser. The project is divided into three stages: IoT-based manual robot control, PIR sensor integration for human movement detection, and metal detector integration for bomb detection. The robot has several functions, including employing a metal detector sensor to identify explosives in public areas and sounding an alarm via a buzzer. It is also capable of detecting impediments on its own and stopping its motion appropriately.
This research is a major step forward in robotics, especially in terms of improving efficacy and safety in military operations and other contexts. The robot handles complicated problems in contemporary security and combat by fusing IoT-based control, live video streaming, and sophisticated sensors including the ESP32 camera, PIR sensor, and metal detector. Its tiered development strategy lays the groundwork for next developments in robotics technology, moving from manual operation to autonomous functioning with obstacle avoidance.
