Abstract

Remote surveillance of hazardous areas necessitates the deployment of mobile robots for carrying out planned work. These robots are equipped with sensors to enable monitoring and recording of the critical parameters of the remote hazardous areas. The sensed parameters need to be localized to gain better insights of site conditions and take corrective actions. By forming a system that offers combination of human intelligence with mobile robot’s reach and onboard machine intelligence, a teleoperated mobile robot provides a flexible and versatile solution for remote safe operation (Mukherjee et al. in National Symposium on Nuclear Instrumentation, Mumbai, Nov 2013) [1]. In addition, the robot’s ability to build the map of remote environment and self-localize with reference to map all by itself provides a basis for overlaying of sensed data onto the map for easier visualization and assessment by the user. This paper addresses the design and development of an indigenously developed mobile robot capable of carrying out surveillance and map building in remote environment.
