Unmanned Marine Robot with RADAR System

ABSTRACT
A review of some latest achievements in the area of military robotics is given, with main
demands to management of advanced unmanned systems formulated. The developed Spatial
Grasp Technology, SGT, capable of satisfying these demands will be briefed. Directly operating
with physical, virtual, and executive spaces, as well as their combinations, SGT uses high level
holistic mission scenarios that self-navigate and cover the whole systems in a super-virus mode.
This brings top operations, data, decision logic, and overall command and control to the
distributed resources at run time, providing flexibility, ubiquity, and capability of self-recovery
in solving complex problems, especially those requiring quick reaction on unpredictable
situations. Exemplary scenarios of tasking and managing robotic collectives at different
conceptual levels in a special language will be presented. SGT can effectively support gradual
transition to automated up to fully robotic systems under the unified command and control.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Motivation
Today, many military organizations take the help of military robots for risky jobs. The robots used in
military are usually employed within integrated systems that include video screens, sensors, grippers,
and cameras. Military robots also have different shapes and sizes according to their purposes, and they
may be autonomous machines or remote-controlled devices. There is a belief that the future of modern
warfare will be fought by automated weapons systems.

1.2 Background
Military robots are usually associated with the following categories: ground,
aerial, and maritime, with some of the latest works in all three discussed in the paper, including those
oriented on collective use of robots. Most military robots are still pretty dumb, and almost all current
unmanned systems involve humans in practically every aspect of their operations. The Spatial Grasp
ideology and technology described in the rest of this paper can enhance individual and collective
intelligence of robotic systems, especially distributed ones. It can also pave the real way to massive use
of advanced mobile robotics in human societies, military systems including and particularly.

1.3 LITERATURE SURVEY

Gu et al (2017) presented the detection and classification system in a cutting-
edge surveillance sensor network, which classifies vehicles, persons, and persons carrying
ferrous objects, and tracks these targets with a maximum error in velocity of 15%. They
discussed the sensing subsystem using ExScal mote in the VigilNet surveillance system and
described the action of the hierarchical classification architecture for enabling the system
to conduct efficient information processing, including detection and classification, in a
large-scale WSN.

Malhotra et al (2016) addressed the problem of classification of ground

vehicles. They have devised a distributed framework for vehicle classification in WSN and
proposed three distributed classifications algorithms that are based on the k-nearest
neighbor (k-NN) classification method. Target classification becomes more challenging if
there are multiple targets of various types. Consider the scenario of a battlefield in which
there may be tanks, jeeps and other types of military vehicles. Furthermore, there may be
a number of vehicles of the same type, e.g. tanks of a particular make. The classification
problem they considered was to identify which vehicle belongs to which class of vehicles.

Chitnis et al (2016) have presented the wireless line sensor network

architecture for visual surveillance using Flex Board - line sensor node with Software-based
line sensor. The proposed line sensor architecture is capable of capturing a continuous
stream of temporal one dimensional image (line image). The associated one dimensional
image processing algorithms are able to achieve a significantly faster processing result with
much less storage and bandwidth requirement while conserving the node energy. The
framework has been illustrated through a testbed using IEEE 802.15.4 communication stack
and a real-time operating system along with one dimensional image processing.

Hanjiang Luo et al (2017) have proposed innovative ship intrusion detection

with wireless sensor networks near a harbor facility. The solution depends on exploitation
of the V-Shaped wave generated by ship movement on the water surface. They have used
three-axis accelerometer sensors with iMote2 on buoys on the sea surface. The
 deployment uses a grid topology with predefined locations. Sensor nodes are time
synchronized before deployment. Accelerometers are used to measure the movements of
buoys during waves; these readings are then elaborated to detect passing ships and their
speeds. With additional signal and computational processing, nodes can detect the
movements of ships around their deployments.

2.2 LIMITATIONS
 In existing system, there is no provision for unmanned robot to monitor enemies at navy
boarders
 There is no proper mechanism to clean the river
 There is no proper solution to supply life jacket to flood areas.
 There is no proper system to monitor the mid sea environmental factors
2.3 Prosed System/Approach
 We are design and implementing the Floating robot for marine with multi applications.
 We have RADAR system, which is constructed by ultrasonic sensor and servo motor,
which will monitor the presence of enemies or unauthorized objects and send the
information to server unit.
 We have wireless camera unit, which will capture the live video and send it central
station
 We have remotely controlled Weapon/Triggering unit, which will helpful to destroy the
enemies or suspicious things.
 We have weather monitoring system, which will monitor the environment conditions
like Air Pressure, Temperature, Seismic waves. All monitored data will be uploaded into
cloud for future analysis
 We have water PH sensor, which will use to monitor the lake or river’s water PH level.
Based on the output of the PH sensor value we can use water for agriculture, industries
or drinking purpose.
 We can use the same robot for river/lake cleaning purpose. Which will collect the
floating wastage from river.
 We have blade at the front, which will cut the unwanted plants in lake or river
 The whole robot will be powered by solar panel.
 Robot application are controlled from central station.
 Robot wings are made by plastic and dc motor, which will helpful for robot movement.

4 CONCLUSION
There are no present security methods to safeguard our borders therefore implementation of android-based robot
for border security could be more helpful. It reduces human involvement in the borders. This method reduces the
risk in the lives of our soldiers. PIR sensor is used to track motion of intruder and camera for video surveillance.
Alert message is being send to the control room, and the provision for firing is passed on. This system provides
more security and reducing the risk of soldiers.

We can also use this system for river/lake water quality testing and cleaning floating waste from river. Which will
helpful for maintain the hygiene in water. Which helps to build healthy society.
