Abstract

On aiming to increase the safety because by using this robot we can know their activities by keeping some safe distance from the enemy,
the flexibility of attacking will be increased because we can know their activities and there will be a laser that will lock the position of
the enemy and guides the missal, this is also contain the metal detector that will helpful in detecting the land mains which will lead to
death, and control of this robot will be very easily done because it is controlled wirelessly and by connecting to Bluetooth of any android
mobile. We have done this project for our army to detect the land mains safely and for the safety of our soldiers and to attack them
without keeping our army soldiers life on the line.

Keywords: Camera, metal detector, HC-12 bluetooth, arduino mega 2560, specially designed chassis for different landscapes.

the metal detector from our controller and also a laser that will
lock the area that will guide the missile.
For this robot, chassis has been designed separately. It has the
flexibility to run even if it is upside down on the rocks, steps,
deserts.
For this purpose, we have used the stepper motor that will be
helpful to rotate and stop at a particular angle. To change the
direction of the motor to increase and decrease the speed ofthe
motor so that we can control the speed of the robot when we want.
The wheelshave been designedseparately in „C‟ shape that will be

Camera

The camera will transmit the video and the audio to our location.
It will have the range up to 50Mit is also the night vision camera.
It will be very small so that we can decrease the size of the robot.
It can be used with wire and without wire.

Stepper motor module

To control the stepper motor easily we should have module

A4988. It will have 16 pins that should connect to Arduino, power
supply. Direction pin step pin enables pin and 5v VCC pin and
GND pin will go to the Arduino. 1A 1B 2A 2B will connect to the
stepper motor. 12v VCC and GND will give power supply to a
motor. There will be a potentiometer that will help in increasing
and decreasing the voltage supply to the motor.

3. Circuit Diagram
This robot is a combination of the metal detector circuit,motor
driver circuit, laser controlling circuit, Bluetooth circuit and
camera module these all are combined and controlled with the
Arduino mega 2560 and by using an android mobile.

Figure 2.3: Stepper moror module

Arduino mega 2560

We used Arduino mega 2560 that will control all the circuits
according to the coding that we have given. In this, there will be
18 digital pins connected to the Arduino from stepper motor
module to control the speed and direction. 3 servomotor pins also
connected to control the direction of the laser and two pins will
connect Arduino and laser to on and off the laser. Figure 3.1: Block diagram

Stepper motor circuit

Figure 3.2: Stepper motor circuit

Stepper motor is controlled by the A4988 stepper motor module.

Stepper motor module consists of 16 pins. Stepper motor consists
of 4 pins for two coils in it which can rotate in both the directions.
And 3 pins are connected to the Arduino that will control the
direction speed of the motor. Sleep and reset pins are shorted. And
there is a 5v pin and it's ground pin that will run the stepper motor
module. MS1, MS2, MS3 pins are connected and disconnected
according to the need of the torq. Stepper motor has ratted current
as 1.5A, ratted voltage as 3.4V, And it has a minimum angle of
rotation of 1.8 degrees. It will take 200 steps to complete one
complete rotation.

Laser light circuit 4. About chassis model

About chassis material

There are many many materials that are used to make the 3D
model like PLA,ABS,NYLON, FDM PETG, FDM TPU. We can
use any material that we want according to the requirementthat we
want. I have used the ABS material because it will be weightless
and strong. We can also make designs that we want by using the
cad modeling and I did this by using the SolidWorks software

5. Coding of the Robot

I have used the Arduino so the coding will be almost equal to „C‟
coding. In this coding hasto be done for each and every motor
separately to move in all directions. We should do coding to
follow components

 To control the movement of the robot and to stop
 On and off the laser light and to move the laser light at a
particular angle.

6. Android APP
To make an app I have used the MIT APPINVENTOR it will be
very useful to make an app for your project. There will no cod
only to drag and drop the statements. It will be easy to learn, to
make and to manipulate. We can make some games, soft wares, it
will also contain sensors like accelerometer, recorder, video player
etc.
My app contains three slide each slide contains different things
about our project.
1st slide contains my college name, my department and a button
for next slide.

Wheels are replased with the C shaped clamps and these are
attached to the motors to obtain stability there are 6 clamps. And
these clamps has to be move in a perticular angle to obtain the
stability of the robot.

you can see the robot therewherever itgoes. There will be a metal
detector that will sensethe landmines and it will stop the
movement of the robot by the command that will already write in
the Arduino code. After it reaches the destination if it is required

be no need of a soldier to keep his life on the edge of the line. This
is for the safety of our army by using the technology to do the
things that are keeping lives on the edge of the death.
The chassis has been spatially designed to move at all kinds of
landscapes and even to climb the steps. If it lost it stability and
became upside down then also it will move easilywithoutgiving
any table.

8. Conclusion
Every day our army soldiers will walk into the death, they will
keep their life at risk to save our lives. So I wanted to give them or
help them giving something that will reduce their risk. That
something is my project war field spy robot. This robot will go
anywhere and can also climb the steps, detects the bombs and also
contains laser that will guide the missile by locking the
coordinates of striking area. Finally, it will reduce the risk of the
soldiers walking into the death and helps them do their job.
