Design of Robotic Snake with ESP 32 CAM and Arduino

摘要

The present study proposes a robotic snake design using ESP 32 CAM and arduino. The robotic snake with an extended reach with locomotion has wide applications in surveillance, maintenance, rescue and spying through a narrow passage and in an adverse environment etc. The proposed design of robot is a bio-mimic camouflage of snake. The prototype of the robot is made which consists of one head unit followed by five cells that are capable of moving through any narrow passage. The head unit comprises of arduino based centralized controlling unit and ESP 32 CAM module. The camera module, video streams the front view of the robot using the remotely located control panel. Based on the front view of the robot, an operator can control the locomotion of the robot via the arduino of the central control unit. The proposed design has many real-life applications.
