HEXAPOD ROBOT FOR DEFENSE SYSTEM

Abstract: The hexapod robot is one of the important classes in legged robots due to its great potential to operate in complex situation with high stability and flexibility. The  robot is designed by using Arduino as its central control unit, integrating a laptop camera for visual data acquisition, Zigbee for communication, IR Sensor and Metal Sensor for obstacle detection, Missile Identification for threat assessment, Person Face Authentication for access control, and a Laser Gun for precise target engagement. The proposed system enhances the security in defense , by identifying threats and functions in challenging environments by safe navigation. Key terms: hexapod robot, defense, zigbee, ir sensor, metal sensor, laser gun.
