Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be defined as a self-configured and
infrastructure-less wireless networks to monitor physical or environmental conditions,
such as temperature, sound, etc. Here, It is used for the automatic battery replacement of
home surveillance robot. The proposed system is composed of the surveillance robot and
the docking section for the automatic battery replacement of the surveillance robot. The
palm-sized surveillance robot communicates with the general wireless home router
through Wi-Fi. It communicates with the docking section through Zigbee and serves as a
mobile sensor network gateway. The time duration capability is a critical function for the
surveillance robots and it is relied on the power supply. The charging duration of the
battery mounted in the robot is an important issue. Battery replacement of the surveillance
robot is the best solution to increase the long term activity of robots. The robot can return
to the docking section for battery replacement when the battery is too low. So the robot
need not to be turned off for long duration of time while replacing the battery. MATLAB is
used to implement this battery replacement process of surveillance robot.
