Abstract:
Disaster management is the main objective of this project besides surveillance and security
purposes. The aim of the project is to find or search the people who are stuck due to some kind of
disaster using a robot mechanism. The project mainly is based on speech processing and wireless
communication. In this project, at the user end, the user will be feeding the voice signals or
commands as the input via a microphone connected to a laptop or desktop.
These voice signals will further be processed by using the software, MATLAB. The robot will be
trained using LPC and artificial neural network algorithm. Then, the processed voice signals will
be transmitted through air via Zigbee module. The transmitted signals will be received via Zigbee
module at the Robot end. The controller at the robot end will decode the signals received and will
match the same with the ones stored in the Robot controller and thus the Robot will be controlled
via voice signals.
There is a camera which is to be fixed at the robot end. This camera will give a real-time video
output to the user on the laptop or computer via a small GUI-graphic user interface which is to be
built in MATLAB. Thus the people trapped due to some disaster can be searched by use of the
camera in the project.
This project can also be served for security and surveillance applications.
