AIM OF THE PROJECT
Constructing a robot that has the ability to scan the entire
landscape
While doing so it should help us in preparing a !irtual blue
print o"
the area so that security personnel can be absolutely sure that
the
#hole place has been scanned$
The robot should be co%bat oriented
It should be designed to reduce casualties

)A' 'E('OR'
MQ-5 is used for combustible gas detection. Can detect the presence
and concentration of
gases like methane, propane and butane. The sensing element used is
SnO2. esistance of SnO2 !aries in the presence of gases. "t is a
si# pin de!ice, $ith a integrated heating coil. Sensiti!it% of SnO2
is greater at higher
temperatures. The suppl% !oltage is 5& 'C. The output !oltage
proportional to the gas
MOTOR -RI4E
The pro:ect uses -C %otors "or robot$ -C %otors ha!e polarity and
direction o" rotation
depends on direction o" current$ Hence "or bi2directional %otor

The pro:ect uses IC +87 "or i%ple%enting H bridge dri!e$
0'* I(TERFACE
The 0'* port o" the co%puter is used "or co%%unication #ith

Hence an inter"acing circuit using FT-& chip is built to
