ABHIMANYU: INTEGRATED SURVEILLANCE AND EXPLORATION ROVERS
The "Abhimanyu: Integrated Surveillance and Exploration Rovers" project introduces two innovative rover models, Abhimanyu α and Abhimanyu β, designed for versatile terrain navigation and enhanced surveillance capabilities. Abhimanyu α, the robust flagship model, features an ESP32 CAM module, a L298N motor driver, and six 100 RPM motors, enabling it to traverse both smooth and rugged surfaces, including staircases and rocks. Its camera, mounted on a pan-tilt mechanism, provides a wide surveillance range, while four 18650 batteries (2600mAh) power the system. Controlled via a phone app and enhanced with an antenna for extended signal range, Abhimanyu α also includes LED bulbs for visibility and signaling, powered by an 18650 battery.Abhimanyu β is a compact, agile rover equipped with similar technology, including an ESP32 CAM, L298N motor driver, and TT gear motors. It is powered by two 18650 batteries (2600mAh) for Locomotion system and an 18650 battery for LED signaling. Despite its smaller size, Abhimanyu β excels at navigating varied terrains and serves as a reliable backup to ensure mission continuity if Abhimanyu α is incapacitated. Both rovers can capture images and videos, storing them in a database for later review and analysis.This dual-rover system ensures redundancy and reliability, critical for successful surveillance and exploration missions. Controlled via a web interface hosted on the ESP32 CAM board, the rovers can be programmed for motion detection and alerts, making them ideal for home security, remote monitoring, and industrial surveillance.
