Four Different Modes to Control Unmanned Ground Vehicle for Military Purpose

Abstract- this paper illustrates the prototype Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) developed for the military purpose. There are four different modes to control UGV: command controlled mode, self-controlled mode, gesture controlled mode and raptor controlled mode. Our prototype UGV is built to undertake missions like border patrol, surveillance and in active combat both as a standalone unit (automatic) as well as in co-ordination with human soldiers (manual). A person from a remote place can comfortably control the motion of the robot wirelessly (manual mode) and in situations where manual control is not prudent, the vehicle is capable of reaching the pre-programmed destination on its own (automatic mode). In few other cases, UGV can use gesture mode and raptor mode. The complete set up and working of the UGV are described in the paper
