Sixth Sense Robot For The Collection of Basic Land Survey Data

Abstract

The manual surveying of land and plots is a tedious and tiring job, especially in India, where we use the same technology that has been used for decades. Although there have been improvements in the equipments, but the main idea or the working principle remains the same. Current methods of manual land survey are labour intensive, time consuming, demand skilled labour and a lot of high - priced hardware equipment. A sixth sense robot in most cases are an efficient solution. They can be used to obtain basic land survey data such as measurement of length of plot, altitude difference between certain parts of the plot and temperature-pressure measurement of the surrounding area. In this paper we present a novel sixth sense robot, that is controlled by object recognition algorithm instead of remote control to reduce the learning curve for control of robot. To reduce labour force and minimize hardware components, sensors would be placed on the robot body, to extract accurate and repeatable results. Sensors used are ones that are available in abundance, therefore significantly reducing the overall cost of the robot. The data gathered by the robot can be viewed in real time, hence reducing time for conduction of the process.
