Abstract :
The intention of designing a robot is to facilitate the human beings through giving security and working as a helping hand through reprieving. The technology used in this rescue and security robot has a number of important features such as robotic car control by cell phone, automatically avoiding obstacles in its way. It can sense gas, smoke and provide an alert through text messaging. The robot can detect bombs, pick and place objects and also do distance measurements. A high quality wireless video camera equipped with a stepper motor for the omni-directional view is used for the spying purpose which is mounted on the robo car to send real video images and audio signals. These audio and video stream received by the receiver unit can be used to take proper steps according to the received signals. This robot can also be used to reach places where humans cannot reach like hidden places, small tunnels. The ultimate focus of this system is to offer far possible security for the human being. In this paper, we have illustrated our work by using the entire sub modules.
