Reconnaissance and surveillance unmanned ground vehicle

Abstract

The proposed project includes design, simulation and implementation of unmanned ground vehicle. Our Project is based on wireless communication between the controller and UGV. Vehicle is designed primarily for surveillance and reconnaissance purpose. We have done the hardware as well as software work for controlling our UGV. We have used Ardiuno boards for the design of both UGV and the controller which detects the command and accordingly move the UGV. Different sensors are used for different purposes for e.g. temperature, humidity, edge etc. Vehicle is powered by 6 batteries connected in series. These batteries can be charged by solar panel during the sunlight. DC motors are used for movement of vehicle. Vehicle is operated through laptop using GUI. 18V charger is used for charging batteries. Transceivers used are NRF that works in ISM band whose range is 2.4 GHz. These transceivers send an encrypted signal providing the security of the signal. The UGV will be able to move in all possible directions. UGV are used for various purposes these days we can change the primary purpose of UGV by making some alterations.
