Webpage controlled surveillance bot using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This paper deals with designing and building a webpage based on control of a mini size robot by using raspberry pi. In case of a situation where humans cannot able to move in the particular places so that the robot can roam around in a given environment while transmitting back realtime video data to the manually hosted webpage, also the program can be invoked through SSH (Secure Shell) connection (wireless real-time programming). Using a USB based camera the real-time video data can be captured and the robot movement can be controlled in a given environment. The designed robot is compact and it has the main feature of wireless transmission and reception of data using the inbuilt Wi-Fi module that can be controlled and viewed through a webpage. The webpage can be hosted by using Raspberry pi's IP address. Microweb framework type flask has been utilized to give instructions from the web page to the raspberry pi model to control the movement of the robot.
