ABSTRACT:
Technological revolution, earnest endeavors in latest high-speed technology and
also the advancements in the capabilities of modern computers lead to a realistic
chance for brand new robot controls and enlightened upon the latest strategies of
control theory. This technical advancement and the necessity for top performance
and efficient robots created quicker, accurate and a lot of intelligent robots
exploitation new robots control devices, new drives and advanced control
algorithms. There are always limitations to every technological reform, No matter
how advance technology may get, Natural disasters cannot be stopped from
happening, however we the human race is getting more and more aware and
cautious within the conception of intelligent rescue operations in such disastrous
areas, precious life and material are often rescued even though such disastrous
situations cannot be avoided. But there still exists possibilities of countless
disasters that are inevitable to occur and Earthquake is one such issue. Earthquakes
after math is devastating and the impact is long lasting and such disasters are
immune to distinct between human and material the impact is equal for whatever
comes in their way. Because of this predicament perpetually humans are buried
among the left over debris and it is very difficult or sometime nearly impossible to
sight them.
CHAPTER # 1
INTRODUCTION:
1.1 OVERVIEW:
This robot is being developed as a Final year project prototype. The demonstration
requires the robot to portray abilities to move in either directions, sensor
prediction, and interfacing with the operator as it searches for the victims. The
main objective of the project is to detect humans in need of help who are unable to
move in disastrous area. the objective of the project depicts a very simple idea
detection which follows a rescuer operation.
A PIR is utilized in the project which emits infrared rays in order to detect live
humans. As an alive human (body) emits thermal radiation. This thermal radiation
is detected by the PIR sensor in order to detect live humans.
Upon detection the person in need of help is located, at the receiver side it
immediately provides an audio alert (buzzer) visual alerts (video streaming) to the
concerned authorities so that person in need of help whether buried or unable to
move can be reached abruptly.
This PIR (Passive infrared) sensor is placed in front of the moving robot that can
move in all the directions. The robot moves in either direction with the rotation of
the geared dc motor for optimum torque and minimum speed and motor derives
with relays for turning and movement in forward and reverse directions with
accuracy.
The motor derive is a two wheel geared drive with DC motors attached to perform
movements in either forward or reverse directions. On a contrary note Detection of
alive human by designated rescue workers is tiring, reliable but very time
consuming. Therefore, achieving our aim will enable us to make a robot capable of
autonomously human detection from earthquake and other disastrous areas.
1.6 BACKGROUND:
With the advancement in the technology and especially in the field of robotics, in
the few years ago of work is done on robotics to facilitate mankind. These earnest
endeavors lead to a whole new race of robotics where manual control of robot took
a step ahead to autonomous robotics Similarly sensor with better performance and
other parameters were introduced, one idea lead to another and todays modern
electronics enables us to facilitate human race in every possible way.
Previously used sensors like metal detector or infrared of low proficiency were
used much too often but with unsatisfactory results. A PIR sensor is now used
which makes the system much effective and an advanced system.
It holds a great advantage over others because of the PIR sensor helps to detect the
Human (Body) radiations emitting from a live human being. Previously a manual
control was provided to the robot which required a designated person presence all
the time. However using ultrasonic sensor a robot now steers its own path avoiding
the obstacles. Another drawback was the oblivious state of rescue team about the
1.7 FEATURES:
The main features of the robot are as follows:
Avoid obstacle and steer it way through the desired field of operation.
Detects thermal radiation from humans in need of help and a sound alert is
sent to receiver side.
User friendly GUI at receiver end providing control of robot and its actions.
Works both automatically and manually. Manually if, the robot is stuck or in
situation where further movement is impossible an audio alert is again sent
to receiver for manual operation.
Continuous video streaming which enable the receiver for manual steering,
identification of the radiation source, better understanding of surroundings
before deploying a rescue team.
A reset switch (false alarm reset) in case if a radiation is detected but the
source is not human but any other animal, the receiver may provide the robot
with a reset signal which ignores that radiation source considering it as a
obstacle and again starts to detect for radiations.

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN:
2.1 BASIC DESIGN AND SYSTEM CIRCUITRY:
There are two basic designs
>hard ware structure
Monitoring
Controlling
First of all the video camera attached with the extinguish vehicle will send real
time video signals to our monitoring device i.e., monitor. The video camera is
wireless. After watching the video on the monitor, the operator can make his own
decision and take an action accordingly.
After the user had made his decision, he sends the control commands via serial
communication to the PIC micro controller which processes the digital data input.
This control signal is then transmit through RF module. At the receiver end the
transmitted signal is again processed and signal is given to motor driver circuit to
perform the required control action. The user observes the real time video by
computer software.
2.4
TRANSMITTER SIDE:
The transmitter side of the circuit is the robot itself the vital constituent elements of
the transmitter side are sensors (PIR and Ultrasonic), Microprocessor, wireless
video camera, Dc motor and the motor derives. Future more the trainmaster circuit
constitute element like opto-coupler, bridge rectifier, capacitors and resistor and
voltage regulators for over all control of the voltage signal. Transceiver for two
way communication between transmitter and receiver. For the automatic operation
the main input is to the micro-controller is from the Ultrasonic sensor which
provide the directions to the robot to steer through the desired field of operation.
The readings from the ultrasonic sensor is continuously sent to the microcontroller
which processes the input signals and provide a required output signal sent to
motor derives which further drive the movements of robot. The other sensor is the
Biosensor which detects the thermal radiation on 180 degree angle range. The
output of PIR acts as the input for the microprocessor and the signal is transmitted
to the receiver side for further action. The video camera has its own module for
transmitting its video therefore no output of the camera acts as an input for
microcontroller.
2.5
RECEIEVER:
At target achievement when the transmitter send signal and at receiver end it is
received by RF transverse and send it to the PIC for execution at receiver end a
simple circuitry is involved to give a audio alert.
In this circuitry a PIC controller is directed with transceiver and personal computer
with serial communication.
Through GUI when a user operate robot manually a single command is execute
time by time and send to the robot through RF transceiver. All commands from
GUI left, right, forward, backward all are send to execution center PIC and send to
execute and send to robot to make some action regarding these commands.

CONSITITUENT ELEMENTS:
3.1 Passive Infrared Sensor:
It is a type of infrared sensor that works by detecting any kind of infrared radiation
emitting objects in their field of observation. Normally everything that is alive or
moveable emits infrared signatures but vary in the magnitude, some objects emits
high signature some emits low thus when a moveable object passes the path of a
PIR sensor it emits the infrared rays that can be detected by the sensor and it works
accordingly. Normally we have a misconception that PIR sensor emits rays but its
the opposite it detect rays. PIR sensors are made of pyro electric materials that
work on the principle of generating energy when exposed to heat. Materials
commonly used in PIR sensors are made of gallium nitride, polyvinyl
fluorides,cobalt phthalocyanine and caesium nitrate. These sensors are mostly
manufactured as integrated circuits. There are wide range of PIRs which have 180
degree or 360 degree view of site, this is made possible by using different type of
lenses in from of sensor e.g. Fresnel lenses or mirror segments. More over
differential detection method is also used in PIR sensors where pairs of PIR
sensors may be wired to a differential amplifiers as opposites inputs thus when a
body passes the IR energy that is normal condition was cancelling the effect of the
paired sensors now show some reading thus detected.
3.2 DC drives:
DC drives or adjustable speed drives are the systems used to control the speed of
dc motor through suitable design circuitry majorly consisting of thyristors which
make a bridge and operate in a four quadrant mode in order to perform
acceleration, forward breaking, reverse breaking and regeneration. More over the
direction of rotation of a dc motor can also be change through dc drive. There are
two ways to change the direction of a dc motor reverse armature polarity and
reverse field polarity. Main principle of varying speed of a dc motor is by varying
voltage but the applied voltage should not be more than the rated voltage of the
motor defined. Basic operation of a dc drive is that it supply voltage to the motor
while the motor draws the current as per the load applied thus it is obvious that if
we apply more than rated load at the motor the motor will draw more current and
gets burned or malfunctions. Majorly the power circuit of a dc drive consists of six
thyristors and six free whiling diodes in case of 3 phase dc drive and 3 thyristors
and 3 freewheeling diode in case of single phase dc drive. Its operation is
performed in 4 different quadrants where thyrisotrs operates according to the
current and voltage polarity. Thyristors operations depend upon their firing time
and angles which are controlled by programmed microcontrollers.
3.3 SERVO MOTOR:
a servomotor is a servomechanism. a control signal that represents a output
position of the servo shaft, and apply power to its DC motor until its shaft turns to
equipments in LANs that send signals to the network wire and at the same time
detects signals passing through the wire. Transceiver is a two way radio that
combines transmitter and receiver exchanging information in half-duplexmode.
Integrated circuit allows high performance circuit to built at lesser cost and with
significant amount of space saving.
RF Transceivers
RF transceiver is a device that receives and demodulates (RF) signals, and then
modulates and transmits new signal. They are used in many different videos, voice
and data application. RF transceiver consists of an antenna to receive transmitted
signal and tuner to separate a specific signal from all of other signals that the
antenna receives. Detectors or demodulators gather information that encoded
before transmission. Radio techniques are used to limit localized noise. To
transmit new signal, oscillator creates sin wave which is encoded and broadcast as
radio signals.
Specifications:
RF transceiver includes data rate, sensitivity, output power, communication
interface, operating frequency, measurement resolution, and maximum
transmission distance. Data rate is the number of bits per second that can be
transmitted. Sensitivity is the minimum input signal required. Communication
interface is the method used to output data to computers. General-purpose interface
bus (GPIB) is the most common parallel interface. Universal serial bus (USB),
RS232 and RS485 are common serial interfaces. Operating frequency is the range
of signals that can be broadcast and received. Measurement resolution is the
minimum digital resolution. Maximum transmission distance is the largest distance
by which the transmitter and receiver can be separated. Additional considerations
when selecting RF transceivers include power source, supply voltage, supply
current, transmitter inputs, receiver inputs, and RF connector types.
3.8 BUZZER:
A device which provides audio signaling function is known as buzzer. The devices
may be mechanical or electronic or it can be combination of the both .They are
designed to emit sound over a wide area or to provide more specialized functions.
It takes some input and emits sound in result of it. Buzzer uses various ways to
produce the sound; everything from metal clappers to electromechanical devices. A
buzzer needs to have some way of taking in energy and converting it to acoustic
energy. The buzzer may be battery powered so that it will go off in the event of a
mains outage. Some devices that provide emergency power have buzzers on them
so that the user knows that they are running on backup power and not on mains
power. Buzzers are used for user or operator an audio indication of the stage of a
mechanical device. For instance, buzzing someone in refers to opening an
electromechanical lock on a door, which emits a buzz, indicating that the lock has
been moved to the open position. Buzzers are used on computers, most often to
indicate error conditions. These buzzers may go off if there is a faulty component
on the device. Computers usually use beepers for this purpose, as well. These are
usually piezoelectric buzzers.
3.9 CO2 SENSORS:These sensor allows to detect the carbon dioxide emission, and then the breathing
cycle of a victim. It is possible to determine if he is still alive. According to , the
response time of a CO2 sensor is very slow. The sensor has to be very close to the
victim to have useful data because it is very directional. Indeed, it depends much
on the air conditions like humidity, temperature, Diploma Work Human Detection
for Robotic Urban Search and Rescue 26/02/04 12 / 61 Steve Burion wind, and
dust. So it is quite difficult to use it in a disaster area. Moreover, it is not easy to
buy only the sensor. It is often sold with outside monitoring equipment (screen,
case) because it is usually used in the medical field. Finally, it is a quite expensive
device and bulky with the monitoring.

CONCLUSION AND FURTHER WORK:
5.1 CONCLUSION:
This robot is developed as field efficient by using the structure and theme of this
proto-type robot with optimization in design and working principle.
For more positives results change its outlook structure with the change in circuitry
and equipments that are using in proto-type robot. Advance equipments and rugged
structure make it more field effective keeping in mind the whole scenario of
earthquake disaster area.
5.2 LIMITATION OVERCOME AND ADVANCEMENT:
This robot requires so much optimization in its design and structure to overcome
the limitation that is occurring in proto-type design. Major advancement is in
movement and speed by using wheel structure for the trough and terrain surface as
well as the high volt battery and high tech motors to load the heavy weight and to
increase speed and movement.
Advance logic in wheel structure make its turning so fast and time efficient which
limits the basic angle of turning and robot turn at 360 degree by keeping its
position constant.
All sensing devices are majorly affected according to environment change like
temperature, humid, pressure etc in field this will overcome with using more high
tech sensing devices which avoid the error occurring during change in
environment. PIR sensor detect only in the front field of 180 degree, it must be
Fresnel PIR which work at 360 which is costly but more appropriate for the field
scenario.
Straight view camera focus at least at 100 degree but for more 260 degree robot
change its direction which is little but time consuming and it effect the efficiency
but minor.
5.3 FUTURE WORK:
This circuit is mainly using in land rovers by making its movement more effective
on trough surface and in advance this will also use in drone applying the same
circuit and idea with advance techniques.
This circuit and structure is also use with different idea, in war field it helps to
locate and hit the living enemy targets and a camera on top gave the sight of view
of current situation ahead. By adding voice command it helps to communicate with
receiver end designated officers with the field war troops. It helps to locate the
positions of enemy troops and make easy targeting.
More optimization which include image processing trough this technique it
recognize the victims with their face reorganization and finger print analysis
technique which is directed to NADRA data base to get whole information about
the victim that is our target of rescue. It will help to make search more narrow for
example, if 3 persons of family is missing and 1 is
recovered else of 2 are probably near to target 1 this figure emphasis to research in
surround it will give fast result if they are alive rescue or they are dead move on for
next.
