SPY MOBILE
A.OBJECTIVE: To design and fabricate a working model of a spy mobile
operating on the principles of mechanics and robotics.

B.ABSTRACT:
The major reason for using robots for Surveillance purpose is that they are much more robust. They are built to take abuse and save lives by placing themselves in harsh or dangerous environments, humans would rather not find themselves in. They allow the operator to safely monitor a situation remotely while increasing awareness and tactical options. The various robots used for surveillance purpose today include OFRO, MOSRO, superdroids, The idea behind this project is to design an Internet Controlled Robot (SPY MOBILE) that could be used to perform variety of tasks along with surveillance operation. Conventionally, wireless-controlled robots use remote control, which has the drawbacks of limited working range, limited frequency range and limited control. Such robots have ranges upto a few kilometers.

D. PROJECT OVERVIEW
D.1 FEATURES: Spy mobile would be economic in terms of operating time and maintenance. Secondly, the range of operation is unlimited depending upon the internet access. Thirdly, it would be controlled in real time and provide best surveillance operations because we would be controlling the entire screen of the remote PC/Laptop placed on the robot and hence can view the video being shown on that Laptop through a webcam on the remote screen. It provides the advantages of robust control.

The control of robot involves three distinct phases: PERCEPTION PROCESSING ACTION Generally the preceptors are sensors mounted on the robot, processing is done by the on board microcontroller or processor, and the task (action) is performed using motors with some other actuators.

D.2 Electronics Parts: The electronics of the spy mobile control the data transfer between the controller and the robot, the control of D.C. motors and a video link using a wireless webcam.

D.3 Mechanical Assembly: Mechanical design of this robot would be involve testing the chassis of the robot, which should be strong enough to carry a laptop and to provide an easy drive using gear reduction and worm wheel assembly. 1. Dimensional requirements:

Although the dimensions of the area of floor covered by the robot are not such a major factor, the factors that we would consider while finalizing the size are the area required by the different parts to be placed viz. battery, Camera assembly etc. 2. Weight Considerations The estimated total weight of the robot would be about 40-50 Kg. therefore the D.C. motors to be used for driving the robot have to be powerful enough to carry the weight and not lock while turning. A worm wheel design would be preferred in order to provide high torque and good load carrying capacity of the robot.

3. Reliability of design When the idea of this robot was conceived it was decided that this robot and all its parts be made very reliable .Therefore the entire structure would be put in place by tightening multiple screws and bolts making it extremely reliable and available for fine adjustments with great precision. The basic frame will be made with welding so that the robot has enough strength to handle the weight of other parts.

4. Shooting mechanism A gun will be placed on the robot for shooting action. A pneumatic gun working with actuators has been planned for this purpose. If it is not feasible a mechanical gun may also be used.

5. Strength required The strength of the robot is determined in terms of the strength of design, which would be optimized while taking into account the conditions the robot has to operate in.

D.4 Softwares Used: 1. PRO-E for the basic design. 2. ANSYS for the stress analysis. 3. Team viewer software for networking between the two remotely separated PCs over internet. 4. Hyper-terminal.

C.LITERATURE REVIEW:
Write some introduction para

Kenneth r. Farrell 1991[1] : pneumatic gun incorporating a striker moving in response to the urging of a compressed spring which effects the release of compressed gas for a propelling projectile from the gun and for recocking the striker is disclosed.

James L. Crowley,[2]: This paper describes a technique for coordinating action and perception within a mobile surveillance robot. The surveillance robot employs an architecture composed of twin hierarchies for navigation and perception controlled by a knowledge based supervisor. Our results illustrate that that most of the so called low-level tasks in perception and navigation are algorithmic in nature. On the other hand, at the "highest levels", the decisions as to which actions to perform is based on knowledge relevant to each situation. The robot's sensors are divided into two broad classes: environmental sensors and surveillance sensors. Environmental sensors provide information for describing the structure of the local environment, while surveillance sensors are used to detect the presence of intruders.

Mechatronics and Automation,ICMA 2007[3]:Secret surveillance in tightly constrained spaces is demanded in many military and civilian activities, such as cave-in enemy raids and indoor hostage rescue missions. These special applications require a kind of mobile robot to function covertly in highly confined environments. This paper presents the mechanical design and the control system of a miniature autonomous surveillance robot ("BMS-1") for indoor reconnaissance tasks.

D R Akshay, Deepanshu Arora and Siddharth[4]: This paper describes designing, fabrication and implementation off one such surveillance robot. The robot is equipped with cam for getting visual display, the mechanical structure is deigned to adapt to moderate rough terrain.the paper in short describes a prototype robot for surveillance application.This paper further explains the various design aspects to be kept in mind while designing the robot.

K. A. Mamun, R. Sherry, T. Szecsi [5]: Modular surveillance systems, attached to a robot base, currently have very limited application in hospital environments.The developed module is mounted on a mobile robot platform and the sensors provide dynamic data for surveillance monitoring, as opposed to approaches using stationary sensors.The vision system is able to recognise intruder in a hospital.This paper presents a vision system of a surveillance module which can detect and monitor intruders in hospitals.The latest advancement in already existing remote operated robots such as wireless, mobile controlled etc. is that only this robot would send a two way transmission because it would involve communication between two PCs through internet and with the help of PC controlling ,we would be able to view the video back from remotely moving robot and at the same time will be controlling it and there would be an additional feature of controlling the gunfire setup on the top of the robot depicting typical military tanks that are operated unmanned totally with internet. This robot would have a variety of applications for defense purposes

E. CONCLUSION:
The SPY MOBILE would be a great advancement on already existing technologies. It could be used to perform variety of tasks along with surveillance operation like gunfire etc. The major advantages in our spy mobile are:

A. Ease of servicing / reparability of parts B. Ease of maintenance C. Improved reliability

Applications of the SPY MOBILE:

The uses of ICR extend to an array of environments and an array of situations. Some of the critical uses include: 1. ICR can be used for surveillance purposes in military, domestic or industrial environments. The ability of the ICR to be controlled via the Internet makes it possible to make the control point of the robot as far as required from the area under surveillance. 2. ICR can be used in the corporate environment, wherein spymobile can be used for various office activities, by actually moving around in the office, talking to employees and colleagues. 3. ICR can be used in homes wherein the parents, even while sitting thousands of miles away, can baby sit their children, old people at home. 4. ICR can be used in hospitals wherein it can be used to transport medicines from one part of the hospital to another; the user having to just sit on a seat and control the movement . etc.
