A WEARABLE DEVICE FOR DEFENSE ROBOT

ABSTRACT:
Defense Robotics seems a third eye for soldier is a wearable prototype that helps soldier
or any user, to have more augmented experience to operate a robot. We have designed a wearable
prototype with a small screen in front of eye, known as VIEW FINDER. A camera located on
robot which is capable to have pitch and yaw axial movements. The small CRT screen at user
side is wirelessly connected to camera on robot, so that user can see live footage of field where
robot is performing. In addition to this, Accelerometer and gyro-sensor are mounted on wearable
device along with small CRT screen. These motion sensors track the motion or gesture of head
such as: looking downward, upward, left or right. Now this motion sensors data is being
captured by pair of microcontrollers and transmitted to the hardware at robot side. During this,
Camera on robot will see in same direction as user sees. Conclusively it is a virtual experience by
user or soldier to be present at the field, virtually.
INTRODUCTION:
The Embedded Technology is now in its prime and the wealth of Knowledge available is
mind-blowing. Embedded System is a combination of hardware and software. Embedded
technology plays a major role in integrating the various functions associated with it. This needs
to tie up the various sources of the Department in a closed loop system. This proposal greatly
reduces the manpower, saves time and operates efficiently without human interference. This
project puts forth the first step in achieving the desired target. With the advent in technology, the
existing systems are developed to have in built intelligence.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
We propose open source hardware and software development environment based on
microcontrollers. Microcontroller senses the data of accelerometer and gyro sensor, calculate the
pitch and yaw angle, calculate the data of joystick and transmit it using ZigBee module. There
are total four PIC controllers, one at User side and three at Robot side. ACCELEROMETER
measures pitch (up-down) gesture of head. Accelerometer gives analog output, which is digitized
by PIC and then it calculates the vertical angle with horizontal plane .GYRO sensor measures
yaw (left-right) gesture of head. It is independent of gravity and it can measure angular velocity
instead of acceleration.where the robot is located, altitude-longitude of that place, real time,
speed of the robot, all in one is given by GPS module.
