Design of tracked robot with remote control for surveillance

Abstract

For specific purpose, tracked robot that can be controlled remotely and able to acquire images from environment is very important, for example in rescuing disaster victims. We propose architecture for Raspberry pi and AVR-based mobile robot that can be controlled by low cost remote controller Integrated Circuits(IC) and able to avoid obstacles using ultrasonic distance sensor. This prototype also can be used for education and research in the university. We evaluate the performance of the robot in terms of the distance and the capability to deliver video streaming from the output raspberry pi and 2.4 GHz Video transmitter.
