Abstract
Remote surveillance robots are increasingly used for security, inspection and exploratory tasks in hazardous or dark environments. This project presents an RF-controlled spy robot equipped with a night-vision camera that allows an operator to navigate and observe from a safe distance.
The system integrates a four-wheel chassis driven by DC geared motors, an RF transmitter-receiver pair for wireless command transmission, motor driver circuitry and a night-vision (IR) camera module. Commands from a handheld remote are decoded at the robot to control forward, reverse, left and right motion while the camera provides visual feedback.
It is an excellent final-year project for students interested in robotics, wireless communication, embedded systems and mechatronics, combining mechanical fabrication with electronic control.
