Surveillance with Smart Spherical Robot

The pendulum-based drive system with live streaming and object recognition is the paradigm that is suggested in this study. It is intended to carry out activities for surveillance and rescue. The system is driven by an Arduino controller, which interfaces with sensors, motors, and Wi-Fi to regulate the movement. Due to its benefits over traditional models, the model’s body is a spherical shell. Two cameras are affixed to the spherical ball in order to enable a 360-degree view. The model is able to move by lowering its center of gravity when the weight is changed. Although various mechanisms can be employed to design robots, the pendulum-driven mechanism is frequently utilized due to its inherent simplicity. Consequently, numerous spherical robots incorporate solely internal sensors for locomotion, stabilization, propulsion, and other functions. Nevertheless, a select few are additionally outfitted with sensors capable of detecting and measuring environmental variables. The review examines the potential of various driving mechanisms and sensors utilized in spherical robots and introduces and discusses a distinct category of mobile robots. The sensors analyzed have the capacity to augment the sensing capabilities of robots that are generally quite limited.
