Surveillance Robot with Human Detection

This paper proposes a robot for human rescue operation using cognitive systems in an environment which is unsuitable for any human intervention. The robot can operate manually with human input and is also capable of autonomous operation by being guided using sensors. In manual mode, human input is provided wirelessly and its operation is observed by the feedback from a mounted camera. The robot is mounted with IR and PIR sensors to help it navigate while operating autonomously. The robot will aid in rescue operations by allowing a minimal threat to human life. Practical experiments and simulation experiments are carried out to validate our design.
