Visual gesture based bomb defusing rover using image processing

Abstract

Over the past few year, many countries around the world are facing serious security threats , most of which are in a form of a planted bomb. In such situation there is no alternative way except having the bomb defusing unit to risk their lives and neutralizethe threat. Safety of human life is takes the priority, so in order to accomplish such task there is a need of a device capable of defusing the bomb from a safe distance. In this way bomb defusing unit will safely defuse the bomb without risking their own lives. A land rover model for defusing is proposed, which is controlled by gestures wirelessly through image processing and performs the required task within designated parameters. The Land rover is composed of 6 servos controlled by Arduino Uno board mounted on it and receives the information wirelessly through XBee module, it receives the data
from the processing unit performing gesture recognition using image processing.
