LoRa-enabled remote-controlled surveillance robot for monitoring and navigation in disaster response missions

Abstract

Rescue missions must be conducted within a strict timeframe, and the safety of all rescuers and civilians is prioritized. The proposed system aims to design a remote-operated aerial surveillance robot for disaster-affected areas for search and rescue missions. Real-time video transmission and RS-232 long-range communication enable operators to navigate rough environments and monitor data collected in real-time. This powerful tool ensures the protection of human life while collecting accurate and meaningful data. Cloud storage for data and surveillance strengthens the system, preventing part failure and fostering collaboration among users. This is a significant step towards using Internet of Things systems alongside remote-controlled robots in disaster response. The robot's key contribution to disaster management is identifying the environment, addressing issues of no visibility, complicated terrains, and speed. Its modification and expansion capabilities make it useful in armed surveillance, industrial monitoring, and environmental studies, making it an important innovation for many other fields.
