Mines Explorer Cloud Networked Robot

The project is on an autonomous hexapod shaped robot which can move around the area prone to land mines and other explosives to explore them and send the sensed data to the cloud at the same time as a warning. Since a hexapod has many degrees of freedom its movement can be made highly precise. The robot is attached with many peripheral sensors to record the object of interest data and those data are transmitted to a remote machine where the entire decision making algorithm runs. That remote machine can also do the statistical analysis of the collected data. The final decision is transmitted to the robot via the same communication link to the on board microcontroller for the associated movement. The usage of cloud computation is to make the sensor data available all the time and also possible to share it. Keywords— Cloud Robotics, Hexapod, Mecnr, Mines Explorer Robot, Swarm Robotics.
