Abstract: The technological advancements have created a drastic change in delivering different versions of robots for varying applications. Research on developing robots that can replace the challenging work done especially by military people is still on progress. In this context, the proposed idea is to develop a robot with a special leg design, suitable for movement over rough and rugged terrains. Additionally, through a camera and RF module, the surroundings can be recorded and transmitted to the user. Along with the support of GSM and GPS module fitted with the robot, the exact location can be easily tracked from remote places. The hardware setup have been developed for this model using economically viable materials for robot body and the movement controls are achieved using Arduino Programming. The results obtained shows that this arrangement will be helpful for military people in virtually monitoring a location and take appropriate decisions. The distinct feature of this robot also makes it suitable for applications like wild animal census, rescue operations during calamities.
