A Surveillance Mobile Robot based on Low-Cost Embedded Computers

Abstract

Robot technology is everywhere from health to retail. It is very rare to see the use of robots in developing countries. It is also a big task for companies to hire staffs for the purpose of monitoring as it requires to work especially in the night. It is also dangers for human. It is a good idea to have some robots for the purpose of monitoring. This paper focuses on the development of surveillance mobile robot using an Arduino board, an ESP32 board and a Raspberry PI sys-tem. The robot is a proof of concept of possible robotic application in warehouses where monitoring technologies need to be embedded in the system. In this con-text, the device is equipped with a servo motor and an on-board camera. The end-user can monitor the robot remotely by wirelessly controlling the position of the servo (i.e. the camera). The camera module is controlled by the Raspberry PI and incorporate a motion detection system which provides an alarm and capture the image frame as soon as the motion is detected. Finally, the image is sent to the end-user. A set of preliminary test of the system has been performed in order to proof the reliability of the proposed prototype
