Accelerometer Controlled Disaster Management Robot

ABSTRACT

This project is basically an unmanned robot which is used for the purpose of disaster
management. The specialty of this robot is in the controller section which uses the concept of
accelerometer control. Accelerometer control is used to control the directions in which the
robot moves based on the orientation of the accelerometer console. The main purpose of this
robot is to gain access to the places which humans cannot and to collect information to
prevent any disasters. The main robot body has an array of sensors to collect information and
to transmit it wirelessly to a pc interface. These sensors can collect vital information
regarding the surroundings where the robot travels and can send them to the receiver where
the operator can analyze the surrounding without actually being there himself. The
transmission is done after coding the data so that an unwanted interceptor cannot interrupt the
functionality of the robot. The coded signal is decoded at the receiver section. The project is
divided into two sections. The first section is the main robot with the sensors, motors and
transceiver unit. The second section has the accelerometer console, pc interface and also a
transceiver unit.
