In this era of a politically unstable world, there is a growing demand for the use of military robots to aid the soldiers to perform perilous missions.This paper focuses on the design and build of a semi-autonomous, unmanned robotic system used for various military and rescue operations.Dangerous tasks such as bomb disposal, enemy territory surveillance, search and rescue can be efficiently carried out by the MSRR, Military Support and Rescue Robot.This reduces the risk of losing the lives of both soldiers and civilians.With the help of live feed from the wireless camera and data analysis of environmental composition by various sensors, of the area under surveillance, the soldiers can better prepare for their missions.Using Arduino and Zigbee technology, the above-mentioned tasks can be achieved.The different sensors and the robotic arm are connected to the Arduino mega which in turn is connected to the Zigbee.Data transmission and receiving are through Zigbee technology.This prototype design overcomes the weakness of the existing models and thus provides better support for military operations.
