FPGA based Robot used for Defence in India

Abstract

Many countries of the world are facing a big problem of the terrorism nowadays. Terrorism is of many kinds but the main reason for the resulting violence are not the same. Soldiers of the countries affected by terrorism have increased responsibilities on them to protect citizens. The Indian government faces the same problems as any other government fighting cross border terrorism. There are many uneven grounds on which terrorists operate in India, where it is difficult for the soldiers to reach.  One of the solutions to this problem is to develop a robotic system which will help the soldiers to reach those difficult to reach places.

 

Many techniques have been developed in the robotics, but still they are not very effective to detect terrorist activities. This paper gives an overview of the past few techniques in this field and presents a real–time system by which a robot will follow objects to capture videos and transmit them to a server. This technique is based on the Papillion Spartan3 FPGA in which Android is used by the soldiers for viewing live videos.
