AIGER An Intelligent Vehicle for Military Purpose

Practically speaking, robots are built to perform special functions that cannot be handled by humans, or where conditions for humans to work are not certain and risky. Thus, these types of vehicles can perform the role that is difficult for humans. This motivated us to create a robot capable of performing risky tasks like border patrol and surveillance. The main purpose of this vehicle is to be controlled using hand gestures and travel long distance without any problem. This paper focuses on bringing together various technologies such as IOT, Software, Wireless communication, and mobile application. It uses GPS, HC-05 for communication and tracking the vehicle, Python/OpenCV with contour tracing and ESP32 Cam to find the enemies and obstacles. This paper presents a low-cost human-computer interaction device represented by Arduino glove to control RC car. Arduino glove includes gyro sensor (ADXL) to identify the angle of the hand where each movement of the hand decides the direction of RC car. The location of the car is tracked using Neo-6m GPS and send to cloud, from where it can be retrieved to display on a map. Any object appearing within 11 meters (demo) ahead of the car will be detected and approximate distance from the object will be calculated. A contour tracing-based Python/OpenCV program is used to detect and track the moment of the object. A mobile application is also created to gather data about the vehicle and provide a secondary manual control.
