Smart mobile robot for security of low visibility environment

摘要

The field of robotics has apparently appeared to replace jobs that humans usually dislike to do, jobs that have low tolerance for faults and risks or jobs for which human resource is not available. For these reasons, many types of robot have appeared, such as man-like robots, car-like robots and mobile robots. Mobile robots have become a target for many applications, such as security patrolling, manufacturing, materials handling in the warehouse, and many others applications. In the last decade, mobile robots have become an important topic in the security field. Several methods have been introduced to deal with mobile robot and security. Nevertheless, most of these methods are not smart enough to work in low visibility environments. In this paper, we are going to introduce a novel smart security system, which uses a mobile robot as a security patrol in dark environment. The proposed system is a non-vision based system and designed to deal with the dark environments using artificial intelligence methods (Neural Network NN and Fuzzy Logic FL). The proposed system includes a motion control model, which is responsible for the navigation operation in the monitoring area. The NN and FL techniques are used to smartly determine the abnormal situation in the monitoring area. Many levels of alarms are used to tackle the deferent level of dangers.
