Design of Intelligent Solar Tracker Robot forSurveillance

Abstract

Surveillance is increasingly becoming one of the most important subjects when it comes to security. In this work I have aimed to design a portable, economically viable alternative to manual surveillance that can find application in both civilian and military sectors. In this paper I have attempted to utilize the solar power for operation of robot for surveillance with an intelligent feedback .As powering the robots for surveillance is difficult this project provides a solar powered mobile microcontroller based surveillance platform which is an amicable solution to the problem. The project involves a PIC microcontroller, digital compass, H-bridge drivers and a automatic solar tracker setup. The functioning of the solar tracking system is independent of the robot movement. The project can be used as a multipurpose surveillance platform in both household and war field applications.
