Design of an Autonomous Surveillance Robot Using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

In this paper, the design as well as complete implementation of a robot which can be autonomously controlled for surveillance. It can be seamlessly integrated into an existing security system already present. The robot's inherent ability allows it to map the interiors of an unexplored building and steer autonomously using its self-ruling and pilot feature. It uses a 2D LIDAR to map its environment in real-time and HD camera records suspicious activity. It also features an in-built display with touch based commands and voice recognition that enables people to interact with the robot during any situation.

I. Introduction

Building and industrial areas are commonly targeted by thiefs and intruders putting the lives of humans or valuables at risk. Recently, robots have found to be useful to provide surveillance and prevent such unauthorized access from taking place. With the advent of mobile robots capable of solving complex tasks and achieving real time decision making capability.autonomous robot have become a norm.
