Unmanned Ground Robotic Vehicle

Abstract: The need for robotics was identified several decades ago. Since then considerable advancements has been made in this field. Unmanned patrolling vehicle is a product of such advancements. Such projects will help our soldiers to monitor the border areas especially in extreme weather conditions where it is onerous for the soldiers to survive, it also help to replace humans from perilous situations like handling explosives and in bomb disabling vehicles where small size is needed or where humans cannot easily go. There are several other applications of such devices like they can be used for search and rescue operations, perimeter patrol data collection, environmental hazard detection, entry and lock check, and gauge inspection.
