Mesoscopic Station Controlled Advanced Reconnaissance Rover

S.C.A.R.R or ‘Station Controlled Advance Reconnaissance Rover’ presents a modern approach for surveillance at desired areas, remote border locations, buffer zones, or strategic military deployment areas using a multifunctional robot based on the Arduino development board. The purpose of designing and constructing a surveillance robot is simple; it is to adapt to the advancements in technology in the field of modern warfare as well as to have a pragmatic and reliable solution to ever-increasing surveillance demands due to hostile activities. This robotic vehicle can potentially substitute human deployment in concerned areas to provide surveillance and perform desired tasks. The robotic vehicle works as a manually controlled vehicle through Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) technology and is equipped with a Radio AV Night Vision camera which can work both day and night to provide real-time video feed. This robot can be used to detect the presence of the enemy in both friendly territory and buffer zones and capture through the camera to give live streaming to authorized personnel. Surveillance is major and active field role while working in the border area and for the same, there is a need for a robot for surveillance purposes. A smart surveillance robot for military and counter-threat applications is presented in this paper. A well-rounded approach to testing, of all the physical and technical factors, was considered and taken into action in the form of improving the rover.
