On design and fabrication of a prototype teleoperated mobile surveillance robot

An indigenous prototype mobile teleoperated robot has been designed and fabricated for urban surveillance. This class of mobile robots finds its application in hazardous area exploration, explosives handling, disarming mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), remote monitoring and urban surveillance for law enforcement. This paper is a brief description of the design and fabrication process followed for development of the prototype robot. Robot telecontrol, real-time location identification and real-time video transfer are the main design characteristics along with development of a graphical user interface for controlling robot operation.
