7TH sense-a multipurpose robot for military

Abstract

In the world that has an enormous potential for conflict, militaries around the world are taking Patton's words very seriously. Right from the ancient times, the foot soldiers has fought and won the battle for the victor. However, over the past decade or so, the infantry's role has changed - the emergence of smart munitions and precision aerial bombardment has resulted in the infantryman entering tough urban combat situations to mop up any remaining resistance. Tomorrow's heroic soldier isn't going to jump into the battle. Our system is the first of several such programs that are looking at revamping the infantry soldier's gear. Our system basically has concepts of vertical and horizontal movements for moving articles in battlefield. It also has a wireless surveillance camera for looking into the encroachment of enemy into our battle zone. In certain unavoidable circumstances the control comes to user who can control the operations of the robot from remote location using a computer. One of the main advantages of our system is that the mode switching can be done very fast without any delay. Thus our aim is to provide a robotic system that can help in wars and other military purposes.
