Thermal Motion Detecting Spider Robot for Surveillance and Observation Using Thermal Imaging Camera

Abstract

This paper presents the model of a thermal imaging motion detecting spider robot. With the incorporation of sensor and microcontroller, the four legged spider robot will be able to monitor the unwanted movement of intruders near the national boundaries, detect any mishap like forest fire (in forest regions), and even gather some secret information of the enemy required to execute any mission by the security forces. Since the robot being of average size by putting a furry material on the robot, the robot would easily camouflage with the environment. The size of the robot can be remodified according to the region/country, as there are big sized spider very commonly present in other nations, and these big spiders can have additional four dummy legs to support the body of the robot and also distract any kind of suspicion. These spider robots can be used in such places where there is no human surveillance. These spiders can be controlled by RC transceivers, if any suspicious activity is noticed then appropriate actions can be taken accordingly. The movement of the robot is controlled by the help of Arduino nano and the thermal imaging camera used to monitor the surrounding is connected to an Arch mix board.
