The main goal of the project described in this paper
is to create a security system using autonomous surveillance
robots that use SODAR-like detection system sensors,
working with acoustic signals in air environment and
navigation base on Geographic Information System and
Markov's models. The surveillance system based on SONAR
provides great information from the environment, even lets you
see behind objects (rebounds effects) whose manipulation
offers a great added value to surveillance The guide system
will implement in one hand a local navigation module directed
to avoid obstacles based on classical techniques and using
the new SODAR sensor. On the other hand a global
navigation module will be implemented using preset
trajectories and gradient techniques and an auto-location
system. One of the greatest challenges obtained is the
definition of the VIGICOPVar variable that defines, depending
on the environment and safety parameters, the probability of
intrusion. Surveillance experts of GRUPO NORTE
(multinational company with security expertise of more than 38
years) have worked In the definition and validation of the
model. The monitoring robots will be controlled in a centralized
way from an alarm center from where you can manage all
information relating to intrusion detected. VIGICOP is the low
cost surveillance robot which provides new/full information
interactive surveillance informatio
