1. INTRODUCTION
An embedded web server creates an easy way for
monitoring and controlling any device which is at remote
place. For designing such system, we require remote PC
along with the internet connection. If internet connection
is unavailable still we can use this unit using Wi-Internet
of Things is the main concept in this field. The (IOT)
Internet of Things is considered as the network of
physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other
items which are embedded with electronics, software,
sensors and network connectivity which enable all of
these objects to collect and exchange data. Here the
Integration with the internet implies that the devices will
use an IP address as a unique identifier. The concept is
about handling the things with the use of internet and
the best model for these applications is Arduino. When
the surveillance is considered, Arduino serve its purpose
as it is good at connectivity by simply plugging Wi-Fi
dongle into one of its port. With the rapid growth of the
internet, more and more advanced devices or sensors
have been embedded into it for performing the desired
work, distributed computer systems, surveillance
cameras, telescopes and manipulators.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
[1] This paper presents about utilizing Wi-Fi that is a
specification for wireless personal area network in
which the device connection is wireless. They had used
Atmega 32 microcontroller as it has advantage over
8086 microcontrollers.
[2] In this project, control of robotic unit is from remote
end with the use of internet & also we are able to get the
videos from robot end for surveillance purpose. Using
this purposed technology, it gives a helping hand to our
security forces in detection of intruders.
[3] This paper presents that one can control the robot
from remote end. So that live streaming of video can be
obtained. Limitation of range of operation does not arise.
[4] In this project, they used different kinds of standard
protocols and machine-human interface. This system
interface sensors with Arduino, interface with motor.
3. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
In this project, one can control the robot from remote
end say mobile or laptop with the use of Wi-Fi as well as
internet and also the live streaming of video can be
obtained from the robot for the purpose of surveillance,
this video is obtained on web browser of the remote
device from where we are operating the device and also
the robotic movements are being controlled. Here the DC
motors are being used for the movement of robotic
wheels and stepper motor is used for camera movement.
Arduino UNO is used for video processing and sending
the processed video to user PC with the help of Wi-Fi as
well as internet.in an existing system, the surveillance is
not that effective.it only captures the real time images or
videos but cannot take any actions for the suspicious
activities. So, for this purpose humans are sent to such
places hence their lives are not that secure. So proposed
system deals with the development of a mobile capable
of capturing real time images and videos for surveillance.
The videos will be streamed live information will be
provided to another workstation in very minute time as
compared to the existing system, if anyone caught that
robot then its whole content will be erased. Hence
thereby securing the information.

5. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Prototype consists of a camera module, voltage regulator
circuitry with L293D motor driver and Arduino UNO.
The real time video is displayed on the display which can
be viewed from anywhere in the world using internet or
within the Wi-Fi range and one can control it using the
control provided.
Step 1: Setting up the Arduino UNO and installation of
required packages.
Step 2: Write the controlling of the robot code based on
the L293D IC logic.
Step 3: Connect the Wi-Fi dongle to connect Arduino
UNO with Wi-Fi router. When it is connected with the wi-
fi router IP address can be found.
Step 4: once we got the IP address we can use it for the
controlling purpose.
Step 5: Now build the robotic unit we can use DC motor
based simple robot.to control the motors L293D is
needed.
Step 6: Connection of power supply. Arduino UNO gets
turn on as soon as power is supplied.
Now the live streaming of the video can be viewed and
robot can be controlled from anywhere in the world.
5.1. Arduino UNO
Arduino is a single-board microcontroller make the
application more accessible which are interactive objects
and its surroundings. The hardware features with a
hardware board designed for an 8-bit Atmel AVR
microcontroller or a 32-bit Atmel ARM. The Current
model consists of a USB interface, 6 analog input pins
and 14 digital I/O pins that allow the user to attach
various extension boards. This board is a microcontroller
based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output
pins in which 6 can be used as PWM outputs, an ICSP
header, 16mhz ceramic resonator a USB connection, 6
analog inputs, a power jack and a reset button.
This board contains all the required support needed for
microcontroller. They are simply connected to a
computer with a USB cable or with an AC -to-DC adapter
or battery in order to get started. This Board varies from
all other boards and they will not use the FTDI USB-to-
serial driver chip in them. It is featured by the
Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2)
programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. Test, sensors,
actuators, and electronic components on a common
silicon substrate through micro-fabrication technology.
The electronic components are fabricated using
integrated circuit process sequences (e.g. CMOS, Bipolar,
or BICMOS processes). The micromechanical
components are fabricated using compatible
"micromachining" processes in which selected parts of
the silicon wafer can be etched. Also, it can add new
structural layers to form the mechanical and
electromechanical.
5.2. L293D MOTOR DRIVING MODULE
The L293D is quadruple high-current half- H drivers. It is
designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to
600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. Both of these
devices are designed to drive inductive loads such as
relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well
as other high-current/high-voltage y loads in positive-
supply applications. All inputs are TTL compatible. Each
of the output is a complete totem-pole drive circuit, with
a Darlington transistor sink and a pseudo- Darlington
source. Drivers are enabled in pairs, with the drivers 1
and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and drivers 3 and 4 enabled by
3,4EN. When an enable input is high, the drivers which
are associated are also gets enabled, and their
corresponding outputs are active and in phase with their
inputs. When the enable input is low, those drivers are
disabled, and their corresponding outputs are off and in
the high-impedance state. With the proper data inputs,
each pair of those drivers forms a full-H (or bridge)
reversible drive suitable for either a solenoid or motor
applications.
5.3. ESP8266Module
The ESP sends the sensed output voltage on server using
Wi -Fi network created by itself. The data which is being
transmitted on server can be observed on laptops or
mobiles by connecting to that Wi-Fi server and accessing
the IP address. The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi chip
with full TCP/IP stack and MCU (microcontroller unit)
Shanghai-based Chinese manufacturer, Espressif
Systems. Firstly, the chip came to the attention of

western makers in August 2014 with the ESP -01
module, made by a third-party manufacturer, Ai-Thinker.
This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to
a Wi-Fi network and will make simple TCP/IP
connections using Hayes-style commands. However, at
the time when there was almost no English-language
documentation on the chip and the commands it
accepted the very low price and the fact that there were
only a very few external components on this type of
module which are suggested that it could be very
inexpensive in volume, attracted many hackers to
explore the module, chip, and the software on it, as well
as to translate into the Chinese documentation. The
ESP8266Wi-Fi Module is a self co SOC with integrated
TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller
access to your Wi- Fi network. The ESP8266 is very
much capable of hosting an application or offloading all
Wi- Fi networking functions from another application.
Each ESP8266 module comes pre- programmed with a
AT command set firmware, meaning, it can simply hook
this up to the Arduino and get about as much as Wi-Fi
Shield offers. The ESP8266 module is a cost-effective
board with a huge, and ever growing, community. In this
module, it has a special on- board processing and storage
capability which allows it to be integrated with the
sensors and other application specific devices through
its GPIOs with the minimal development up-front and
minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-
chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry,
which is mainly designed to occupy minimal PCB area
including the front-end module. The ESP8266 will
support APSD for VoIP applications and Bluetooth
interfaces, it contains a self-calibrated following it to
work under all operating conditions, and requires no
external RF parts.
5.4. PIR SENSOR
A passive infrared sensor (PIR Sensor) is an electronic
sensor which is used to measure infrared (IR) light
radiating from objects in its field of view. They are
mostly used in PIR based motion detectors. All the
objects with the temperature above absolute zero level
will emit energy in the form of radiation. Usually this
type of radiation is not visible to the human eyes because
it radiates at infrared wavelength, but it can be detected
by the electronic devices designed for such a purpose.
The term ‘PASSIVE’ in this instance refers to the fact that
PIR devices do not either generate or radiate energy for
the detection purpose. They will work entirely by
detecting infrared radiation that is radiated heat emitted
by or reflected from the objects.
5.5. Arduino IDE
Arduino is a micro-controller development board series -
Uno, Nano mega etc. Now, any micro-controller (here it
is at mega 328 IC on the Arduino Uno or at mega 1280 on
Arduino Mega) that needs to be programmed and it is fed
with a hex code version of the code written in high level
(English) language. So, Arduino development boards are
fed with the code via Arduino IDE.
IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a
software that enables better and assisted code editing,
compiling and debugging. The Arduino IDE works on the
Java Platform. You can co-relate this to Eclipse, the
language java has different IDEs that ease the usage of
the language for a particular purpose. However, Eclipse
do not support the functions and commands that work
on Arduino board. So, this Arduino IDE has inbuilt
functions and commands that though work on Java
platform, are customised to run on the Arduino
development.
6. CONCLUSION
In our project, the robot is designed to move by our
command and also by its own according to the command
given by the program. The video is monitored at the
control unit. In this prototype project, the robot is
designed in such a way that it can be moved anywhere
and it can get the information of particular place. It is
easy to detect any fault in that specified area. It leads
easy process without interaction of humans. This project
is very much useful in the places where a human cannot
go into the places like canals, smoke-oriented caves and
it will be very much useful in such situations.
7. FUTURE SCOPE
We can make this system completely autonomous by
adding a feature to localize in environment and to make
use of its own map. Solar charging function can be added
to this system in order to save the power. It can be
utilized in 4G network for better performance.
