Video surveillance robot control using smartphone and Raspberry pi

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for controlling a wireless robot for surveillance using an application built on Android platform. The Android application will open a web-page which has video screen for surveillance and buttons to control robot and camera. Android Smartphone and Raspberry pi board is connected to Wi-Fi. An Android Smartphone sends a wireless command which is received by Raspberry pi board and accordingly robot moves. The Video Streaming is done using MJPG streamer program that gets mjpeg data and sends it through a HTTP session. The Raspberry pi programming is done in python language. The experimental result shows that the video streamed up to 15 frames per second.
