Design and fabrication of a teleoperated explorer mobile robot

Abstract

The exploration of unknown terrain can be dangerous without having proper data about the environment. In this paper, a mobile robot is demonstrated which can communicate wirelessly and also capable of providing some important parameters of the environment such as relative humidity, temperature, amount of methane, Carbon-di-Oxide and Carbon mono-oxide. The robot is designed as a small cart to achieve flexibility in motion and equipped with 3G module to communicate and collect data wirelessly. Later, the data collected from the robot are evaluated and analyzed to have a clear idea of the environment, the robot dealing with.
