Physical remote agent with integrated data acquisition elements (PRIDE)-An IOT based secluded machine interaction

With very rapid growth in technology and complex computing capability, present human civilization largely depend on continuous and updated data for creating and deciding the use of natural resources. Huge growth in population throughout the world for last few hundred years have significantly increased the pressure on mother earth in supporting the pace of human development. In a limited place larger cultivation, living is the prime goal of future existence of human on earth. In this work, we have tried to explore the sensor based computation for analyzing environment, health, pollution etc. related factors and precise cultivation. In contrast to fixed sensor, an ROV designed to collect data from a vivid geographical area in an autonomous manner to supplement the human action with decision support system. A major objective of the work is to explore the low cost, sustainable dynamic data collection system suitable rural to urban application. The system already tested with a variety of sensors over RF as well as GSM network to collect data and control the ROV. Supported by GSM network, the prototype can be operated virtually from any part of the globe. The same system can be deployed as unmanned agent in hazardous positions and grabbing data for analysis like radioactive areas, highly polluted, health degrading environments for scientific analysis and study. The results found during experiment and tests are highly satisfying, including the control and communication ease. Designed prototype of ROV is fully powered by solar energy and maintenance free for continuous field operation.
