A robot for video surveillance using Wi-Fi and a remotely controlled system is
proposed. This robot uses Raspberry Pi3 as the processing unit. Python programming
language is used to develop the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for this Raspberry Pi
based robotic system. We use Raspberry Pi3 to control basic locomotion, and a speech
synthesizer. Moreover, we use basic stamp to control the sensors for detect some
data, for instance, temperature, humidity and gas sensors. The readings from the
sensors are expected to record the climatic conditions experienced in the robot’s
environment and to detect any hazardous gas leakage and thereby sending alerts. This
system will help prevent accidents in critical industrial areas prone to fire hazards. This
robot will be helpful for the fire and safety industry to reduce the risk of accidents and
to prevent human to monitor fire-prone areas. For the remote-control system, Team
Viewer connects the Raspberry Pi3 with our smart phones, so we can control it using
Wi-Fi signal.
