A novel design of a robotic vehicle for rescue operation

Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a robotic vehicle that uses a new control system based on Bluetooth communication with an Android Phone as the controller. For this project, an Arduino Microcontroller, a Bluetooth module, DC motors, motor drivers, a distance sensor, cameras, temperature and gas sensors are used. It is named a rescue robot because it can be used as a helping hand to the human rescue team by providing general information about the situation of the affected area or in mines. This robotic vehicle can also be used in other fields. The designed system is flexible enough so it can easily be upgraded or modified to be used in a variety of situations according to the need.
