The Hindu : States / Andhra Pradesh : Robotic device to help commandos developed
Prototype of machine demonstrated before V. K. Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister
A remotely-operated Robotic Command System, which can provide real time images to commandos from inside a building in a hostage-like situation that occurred during Mumbai terror attack on Taj Hotel, has been designed and developed by a group of engineering students.
VIDEO CAMERAS
The contraption fitted with high resolution video cameras can sneak into a building, capture real time video and instantly relay them to commandos' wrist-worn communication devices.
The Robotic Command System would help in launching quick and precise rescue operations, according to P. Bharath, leader of the project, taken up in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
PROTOTYPE
The prototype of the first phase of the three-phase machine had been completed and its operation was demonstrated before V. K. Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister, DRDO scientists and others during a Luminary Series Lecture' organised by the Aeronautical Society of India's Hyderabad Chapter here on Saturday.
Dr. Saraswat, while describing the work as impressive, wanted them to make the system autonomous.
FIRST PHASE
The prototype in the first phase has been limited to capturing video and transmitting it in real time.
Bharath and other team members of the project completed their B.Tech in Information Technology from GATES Institute of Technology, Anantapur, in 2011.
They plan to equip the robotic machine with artificial intelligence, auto navigation and facial detection features in the next two phases.
RS. 6 LAKH PROJECT
The Rs. 6 lakh project, funded by DRDO, is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
Eventually, the budding scientists want to enable its operation through an android phone. Bharath said the Robotic Command System would come in handy for commandos, police personnel and firemen.
It would also be fitted with infra-red camera to capture thermo-graphic images.
In the event of people becoming unconscious in a smoke-filled room due to a fire in a building, the robotic device would quickly locate them and ensure speedier evacuation.
The other team members are: G. Ramesh Babu, G. Harish Kumar Reddy, D. Vinay and V. Sai Rahul.

that's US$ 1200 only
