Tactical Robot Prototype for SWAT and Emergency Response Teams in Peru

Abstract

The lack of technology to explore hostile areas in Peru is an important factor for the increment of casualties in the staff of the Peruvian police and military. In view of this, we propose in this work the design and construction of a tactical robot for the exploration of hostile zones in Peru which will be controlled with a telemetry system. For the first prototype, the most important parameters considered are the control of the unmanned vehicle, the transmission of video in real time and the fact that it is an all-terrain vehicle. To maintain the control of the tactical robot with the parameters mentioned above, a software was developed in Arduino Uno which is based on the C++ programming language. With this software the tactical robot can be controlled and monitored through a wireless network by accessing it through via an ip address. However, we have to work further on the wireless communication, increasing security protocols, which will be implemented in future implementations of this project. It is expected that this tactical robot will be used by the police or military forces, so that they can make reconnaissance of hostile areas and thus their staff will be more prepared at the time of interventions.
