Introduction
1.1. Background
Surveillance is major thing when we are going to secure anything as it is tedious job
peoples are getting boarded because of that it will might risky to observing all these
things we are going to make a robot which is continuously monitor thing. This robot
continuously watches and sending a live streaming of it to an authorized person. Because of
that monitoring the work will be somewhat easy and it will be made accurate because of
technology.
The implementation of this project to resolve the problem of replacing human to
surveillance robot, because of this we reduce harm of human resource. Robot are usually
miniature in size so they are enough capable to enter in tunnels, mines and small holes in
building and also have capability to survive in harsh and difficult climatic conditions for
life long time without causing any harm. Military robots were designed from last few
decades.
Nowadays, most of the system uses a mobile robot with a camera for surveillance. The
camera mounted on the robot can move to different locations. These types of robots
are more flexible than the fixed cameras. In it is given that mostly used surveillance robots
are wheel robot. The wheel-based robots are more suitable for flat platform. With the
development in wireless communication and internet, the videos captured by wheel robot
can be seen remotely on computer or laptop.
1.2. Objectives
To build a cost effective and efficient robotic system, programmed to provide a
platform for surveillance purpose, thus acting as a substitute for human in hazardous
activities like mining, exploration, patrolling sensitive areas and for various
applications that are at a safer distance.
To impart intelligent control techniques for the robotic platform, so that it’s dynamic
performance, in varied applications of path and dimensions tracking, can be further
developed.
To monitor the movement of the robot through wireless mode of communication.
To establish complete transparency of data over the internet.

1.3. Purpose and Scope
1.3.1. Purpose
A remote-controlled surveillance robot is defined as any robot that is
remotely controlled to capture images/video for specific purposes. ... Military robots are
autonomous robots or remote-controlled devices designed for military applications. Such
systems are currently being researched by a number of militaries.
There is a huge need of security most especially in homes, workplaces, military area,
borders. There has always been a high demand for security systems that could protect man,
property, boundaries of nations. This project aims to provide surveillance in overly sensitive
areas like border areas, terrorist hotspots without having to risk human life for the same.
1.3.2. Scope
We can use this system for military applications installing suitable sensors. Just by
changing the robotic unit design we can use it in hospitals for patient monitoring. Using some
chemical sensors, we can detect harmful gas leakage in the chamber the time delay which
occurs in the execution of commands can be reduced and thus we can have more real time
access to the robot. With reduced time delay we can have faster operation and quick response
to any illegal activities in the monitored area. Also, it can be used as a spy robot. The robot is
very economical.
1.4. Achievements
A goal is to achieve a way to find tourists or some explosives without risking any
life. This “Arduino based surveillance robot” provides the security to the soldiers.

Survey of Technologies
What is Embedded System?
An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software, fixed in
capability or programmable, designed for a specific function or functions within a larger
system. Industrial machines, agricultural and process industry devices, automobiles, medical
equipment, cameras, household appliances, airplanes, vending machines and toys, as well as
mobile devices, are possible locations for an embedded system.
As its name suggests, Embedded means something that is attached to another thing. An
embedded system can be thought of as a computer hardware system having software
embedded in it. An embedded system can be an independent system or it can be a part of a
large system. An embedded system is a microcontroller or microprocessor-based system
which is designed to perform a specific task. For example, a fire alarm is an embedded
system; it will sense only smoke.
An embedded system has three components −
1. It has hardware.
2. It has application software.
3. It has Real Time Operating system (RTOS) that supervises the application software
and provide mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling by
following a plan to control the latencies. RTOS defines the way the system works. It
sets the rules during the execution of application program. A small-scale embedded
system may not have RTOS.
Arduino Uno:
Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, project and user
community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller
kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in
physical and digital world.
10 | P a g e
The microcontrollers can be programmed using C and C++ programming languages. In
addition to using traditional compiler toolchains, the Arduino project provides an integrated
development environment (IDE) based on the Processing language project.
Type: Single –board microcontroller
Operating system: None
CPU: CPU: Atmel AVR (8-bit), ARM Cortex-M0+ (32-bit), ARM Cortex-M3 (32-bit), intel
Quark(x86) (32-bit)
Memory: SRAM
Storage: Flash, EEPROM
2.1. C
C is a general-purpose programming language that is extremely popular, simple, and flexible
to use. It is a structured programming language that is machine-independent and extensively
used to write various applications, Operating Systems like Windows, and many other
complex programs like Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and more.
Why choose C?
•C is a Middle-Level Language. The middle-level languages are somewhere between the
Low-level machine understandable assembly languages and High-Level user-friendly
languages.
•Helps to understand the fundamentals of Computer Theories. Most of the theories related to
computers like Computer Networks, Compiler Designing, Computer Architecture, Operating
Systems are based on C programming language and requires a good knowledge of C
programming if you are working on them.
•Fewer Libraries. C programming language has fewer libraries in comparison with other
high-level languages. So, learning C programming also clears programming concepts to a
great extent as you have to write lot of things from scratch.
11 | P a g e
•C is very fast in terms of execution time. Programs written and compiled in C executes much
faster than compared to any other programming language.
•Embedded Programming. C is extensively used in Embedded Programming. Embedded
Programming is also referred to as micro-controller programming, where C program is used
to control micro-controllers. Microcontrollers and embedded programming is widely used in
auto-motives, Robotics, Hardware’s etc.

4.3.3.1Arduino Software
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment - or Arduino Software (IDE) - contains a
text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for
common functions and a series of menus. It connects to the Arduino and Genuino hardware
to upload programs and communicate with them. Programs written using Arduino Software
(IDE) are called sketches. These sketches are written in the text editor and are saved with the
file extension. ino. The editor has features for cutting/pasting and for searching/replacing
text. The message area gives feedback while saving and exporting and also displays errors.
The console displays text output by the Arduino Software (IDE), including complete error
messages and other information. The bottom right-hand corner of the window displays the
configured board and serial port. The toolbar buttons allow you to verify and upload
programs, create, open, and save sketches, and open the serial monitor.

4.3.5 Jumper wires:
Jumper wires are simply wires that have connector pins at each end, allowing them to be
used to connect two points to each other without soldering. Jumper wires are typically used
with breadboards and other prototyping tools in order to make it easy to change a circuit as
needed. Fairly simple. In fact, it doesn’t get much more basic than jumper wires.
22 | P a g e
4.3.6 Breadboard
A breadboard is a solder less device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit
designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting
their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where
appropriate. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and connect the holes
on the top of the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and
bottom rows of holes are connected horizontally and split in the middle while the remaining
holes are connected vertically.
