 Introduction
 What is Omnidirectional robot?
Omnidirectional robot is capable of driving in any direction as the
omni drive enables the robot to change direction instantly without
having to turn the wheels. It is also called holomic robots.
 Surveillance is the process in which people, places, or things are
monitored usually for the purpose of influencing, managing and
directing.
 A robot is nothing but an automatic electronic machine that is
capable of performing programmed activities replacing human
work.
 Due to advancement in technology, these surveillance robots are
used in remote as well as domestic areas.
 Most non- holomic robots cannot drive in a direction perpendicular
to their driven wheels.

Component Specification

 Arduino Uno : It is a microcontroller board based on the

ATmega328P.
 hc-05 Bluetooth module : It is designed for wireless
communication.
 DC motors : This converts direct current (DC) electrical energy into
mechanical energy.
 18650 Battery cell (3.7V) : These devices accept, store and release electricity
on demand.
 L293D motor control shield : It is used drive 4 DC motors at the same
time.
 Battery holder : It is used to hold the cell.
 Switch : It is used to turn on and turn off.
 Jumper wires : It is used to connect two points on the circuit.
15
 Sensor : It is used to measure the distance.
 Component Characteristics

 Arduino Uno :: It can work with digital and analogue signals,

sensors, and actuators. Arduino programming is a simplified version
of C++, which makes the learning process easy .The Arduino IDE is
used to control the functions of boards. It further sends the set of
specifications to the microcontroller.

 hc-05 Bluetooth module : It is designed for wireless

communication.The module provides a method to connect wirelessly
with a PC or Bluetooth phone to transmit/receive embedded data
such as GPS data, ADC voltage reading and other parameters.
Bluetooth module JY MCU BT used in the project can be connected
to any device, via built in UART interface to communicate with
other Bluetooth enabled devices such as mobile phones, handheld
 Jumper wires : It is used to connect two points on the circuit.

 Sensor : This is the HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor. This economical sensor
provides 2cm to 400cm of non-contact measurement functionality with a ranging
accuracy that can reach up to 3mm. Each HC-SR04 module includes an ultrasonic
transmitter, a receiver and a control circuit. There are only four pins that you need to
worry about on the HC-SR04: VCC (Power), Trig (Trigger), Echo (Receive), and GND
(Ground).This sensor has additional control circuitry that can prevent inconsistent
"bouncy" data depending on the application.

 L293d: L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers
act as current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a
higher-current signal to run four solenoids, two DC motors or one bi-polar or unipolar
stepper with up to 600 mA per channel using the L293D. These are known as the
drivers in the Ada fruit Motor shield.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

The project is designed to control a robotic vehicle using an android application.

Bluetooth device is interfaced to the control unit on the robot for sensing the
signals transmitted by the android application. This data is conveyed to the control
unit which moves the robot as desired. An HC-05 is used in this project as control
device. Remote operation is achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with
Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screen operation.
Transmitting end uses an android application device remote through which
commands are transmitted. At the receiver end, these commands are used for
controlling the robot in all directions such as forward, backward and left or right
and captures the video and transmits to mobile through RF signal at the receiving
end the movement is achieved by the motors . Serial communication data sent
from the android application is received by a Bluetooth receiver interfaced to the
Arduino. The program on the microcontroller refers to the serial data.

• Initialize: The robot initializes its systems, including sensors, cameras, and communication modules.
• Check Power: The robot checks its power source (battery or other power supply) to ensure it has enough
charge to operate.
• Connect to Control Center: The robot establishes a connection to the control center or a remote
monitoring system.
• Receive Instructions: The robot waits for instructions from the control center.
• Move to Starting Position: If required, the robot moves to its designated starting position for

b. Detect Intrusion or Anomaly: The robot checks for any unusual activities or intrusions in the area.
c. Record Data: If an anomaly is detected, the robot records relevant data and captures images or videos.
d. Transmit Data: The recorded data is transmitted to the control center for analysis.
• Check Communication:
a. If the communication link is lost: The robot attempts to re-establish the connection.
b. If the power is critically low: The robot proceeds to End.

Results and Discussion
We have two results i.e., the hardware and the software result.
The hardware includes the robot which runs on DC motors. The input to the
motors is provided by the L293D motor driver shield. The input to the
driver shield is provided by the Arduino board. The navigational inputs are
given by the user to the Arduino board using the android application via
Bluetooth. The Arduino board, on receiving the signal, processes it and
produces the appropriate output. The communication between the android
application and, the Arduino board takes place using the Bluetooth module
which is interfaced with the Arduino board. It provides serial
communication between the application and the Arduino.
The software results shows the direction of the robot when specific button
is pressed manually (or) automatically provided voice command using
google assistant used in the android application.

Surveillance is needed in almost every field. It could be a great solution to
various problems or situation where wireless Surveillance is needed our project
