Abstract

Robots are becoming increasingly important for security and surveillance applications. This research paper presents the design and hardware implementation of a low-cost and easy-to-assemble site surveillance robot using an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and a Bluetooth module HC-05. The robot is equipped with various modules and sensors, including a camera and ultrasonic sensors, for capturing images and detecting obstacles, respectively. The Arduino Mega 2560 is used to control the movement of the robot and process sensor data, while the Bluetooth module is used for wireless communication between the robot and an Android device. The robot is capable of patrolling a designated area and sending real-time surveillance footage to an Android device via Wi-Fi. The developed system was tested and evaluated to demonstrate its performance and efficiency. The results showed that the robot is able to patrol a designated area accurately and efficiently and that the real-time surveillance footage is of high quality. The system has the potential to be used in a variety of applications, such as object retrieval, security, and surveillance in residential and commercial areas and spying on certain sites.
