Wireless Mobile Robot with Live-Feed Video using PIC 1 6 F 628 A Microcontroller

The unprecedented number and scales of natural and human induced disasters in the past decade has urged the emergency search and rescue community around the world to seek for newer, more effective equipment to enhance their efficiency. Search and rescue technology still rely on old technologies such as search dogs, camera mounted probes and technology that has been in service for decades. Hence, Wireless Mobile Robot with LiveFeed Video using PlC16F628A Microcontroller will create an alternative solution for rescue purposes which is recognized as a risky mission. In this project, a prototype mobile robot with simple locomotion mechanism and also network camera has been developed to support the rescue team. This prototype includes Wi-Fi router as a platform to communicate between mobile robot and computer and facilitate a network camera attached to the mobile robot. The mobile robot can be made to move around remotely by using GUI command on computer as well as live-feed video will be displayed on the computer. The control range of this mobile robot is up to 140m in a straight line of sight in open space.
