I am planniing to build a sensor robot that is designed to
patrol and area around a building a storage building that
stores hi tech computer chips for example. This robot will
elimate the need for alarm systerms using sensors or
cameras. The robot will have tracks so it can climb over
anything and it will have a number of sensors including
sound,heat,movement,moisture,infa red and vibration sensors
i am also planning to put an on bord camera on too. The
robot will be abel to learn from its sourndings and set of
alarms and react to certern types of information from the
sensors using a computer softwhere program. It will be
controled by its self so it can patrol night and day with
out the need for human intervention and it will be self
charging as it can plug its self in to a charger and will
have two solor pannels providing 12v trickle each. im not
sure what motor i will use but there will be two running on
24v or higher. (one for each track) its should take me
about a year and a bit to build but it is only in the
design stage on my computer for the moment. if I am allowed
to submit an article i will post more information with
pictures and video on you site or myne when it is up and
running. i am hoping to join a robot club soon. Many Thanks
