Tele Operating Defense Robot
About the project
We have made robot for defense purpose. Tele operating robot is useful in harsh conditions where Soldiers can’t reach. This robot enables user to perform tasks remotely. Robot contains camera for 360Degree view and a robotic arm to pick objects. Robot replicate human movements to perform tasks.

Story
The robot is a Vision Controlled Robot. The robot uses a VR headset to control the aiming mechanism of the robot. VR is used to track the movement of the head and transmit it to the robot wirelessly. The robot will transmit images and required data from its location to the operator.
The operator will be virtually present on the stop and can take all actions like attack, rescue. Guns and the robotic arm can be controlled by movements of the user.
We decided to make it because there is a huge problem to deploy humans in harsh condition, so we wanted to make a robot which can do things instead of sending a human. To make it more ealistic we have used virtual reality for easy control.
