Abstract— The Indian border military force is
facing a huge destruction from Pakistan, China,
Myanmar, Sri-lanka and Bangladesh. Tensions
rise between nuclear neighbors after deadly raid
on army base close to disputed border with
Pakistan. Highly trained militants are on
essentially suicide missions – died in the three-
hour assault on the base at Uri. Seven Indian
soldiers killed in attack on army base, Nagrota. In
Kashmir, near the militarized “line of control”
that divides Kashmir from the Pakistan-controlled
side. The Pathankot attack was a terrorist attack
committed on 2 January 2016 by a heavily armed
team which attacked the Pathankot air force
station, part of the western air command of the
Indian air force. The recent news is almost many
soldiers were killed by Pakistani army and merely
about soldiers injured, some critically.
➢ INTRODUCTION
Almost all the military organizations take the help of
military robots to carry many risky jobs that cannot be
handled manually by soldier. We have also seen a great
development in military robots when compared to
military robots in earlier period. At present, different
military robots are used by many military
organizations. This innovative system is made for
operations which involve high risk for humans to enter
and may be proved very beneficial for military area for
spying purposes. This system makes use of robotic
vehicle which helps not only to enter an area involving
high risk. The whole system is controlled via android
application. Thus this application involves robotic
vehicle so that the system can be used to enter a high
risk area, move around place wherever it wants to.
An Internet-based intelligent pod security system,
“iBotGuard” in detects trespassers using face
recognition algorithm. System can detect a trespasser
using intruder detection subsystem which relies on
invariant face recognition and it tracks the trespasser
using intruder tracking subsystem based on streaming
technology.
Intruder detection subsystem captures images
periodically when it detects trespasser in a secure area
and verifies whether the object detected is human using
invariant face recognition.
Android Based Autonomous Intelligent Pod for Border
Security, which identifies trespassers using PIR motion
sensor, alerts security personnel by E-mail using GSM
and captures image of trespassers using Raspberry Pi
camera in android device and mail this image to
corresponding email ID using android based
application.

• The "Pi Camera v2.1" was released in both

normal and NoIR versions. It uses the
Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor with a
slightly wider (62 degrees H) and faster

replacement for the previous camera.

• IR transmitters are also connected to 5V

supply, so that they always transmit high

supply.

sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄).

the engine in an auto mobile, for example,

 ➢ WORKING PRINCIPLE
Basic principle of the system is waiting for the
reflected signal from the intruder. To rotate the
POD, DC motor is used. Two-geared DC motor is
used for the movement of POD. The movement of
pod is enabled by our mobile phone.
Here we are using an android device for controlling
the movement of POD and the Raspberry Pi camera
for video surveillance. Then a PIR sensor is used
for detecting the trespasser. The sensor is activated
40secs after the activation of the device, as it wants
to cope up with the surroundings. If an intruder is
detected, the output of PIR sensor is being sent to
the Raspberry Pi and then the Wi-Fi module in the
Raspberry Pi sends an information signal to the
control room.
If an intruder is detected a laser gun is provided for
further purposes. The movement of laser can be
controlled as per the directions given by the control
room. If necessary, laser gun can be used for
shooting or firing the intruder
Flowchart for overall working of the system
➢ RESULT
The PIR Sensor detects the intruder and informs the raspberry pi.
The camera turns on and captures the image which in turn is sent
to the registered e-mail id. There is a feature of live streaming
and controlling the pod manually implemented on a vehicle by
ARM. We have included features like laser detection and bullet
firing and also the vehicle move automatically.
