Implementation of Cost Effective Bomb Defusing Robot with Live Streaming Dual Camera Interface

Abstract

Robot automation technology is increasing day by day to adapt to the world's demand for controlling disasters, rescuing operations, and minimizing human risk. To perform these tasks a user-friendly robot is required which can be controlled precisely from a remote area. The described project focuses on the design and implementation of a remotely controlled bomb disposal robot with locally available hardware resources to minimize cost. The implemented robot features a robotic arm with 4 degrees of freedom which can pick and carry any sophisticated object (up to 5kg) very precisely and smoothly. The body and the arm of the robot were custom designed and built with Aluminum alloy. To maximize the capability, the robot was equipped with Gas, fire, and obstacle detection sensors. In the chassis, it can collect and carry dismantled bomb parts (up to 10kg) as evidence. The mechanical design of the robot was validated with solid works software. Proteus was used for PCB and schematic design. In the control system Raspberry pi was used as a processor and for sensing and communication Arduino mega was introduced. The robot can be controlled via the internet. An additional python script has been used to control the robot through a web server.
