Project Summary

The purpose of this project is to design and develop the robotic surrogate Marksman, which can take aim and transport it to the firing area. This project will bring a complete revolution in the defense industry. It has a robotic trolley that is used by the remote control and the user wears virtual glasses where he can aim and shoot from a gun by pressing a button. Robot design requires compactness, dexterity, and intelligence for the entire robot's observations. Shape selection is at the forefront of available conceptual designs. With chassis size we were able to limit the number of motorized wheels to two traction back wheels and one servo front wheel. In addition, sweepers are analytically placed in the most optimal position, which increases the robot's mobility area, without increasing its overall size. Gun stand was simultaneously developed as an all direction reach and storm device when fully integrated with the structure. This indicates that the Gun stand is actually a person holding a rifle or gun, making the target easier for the shot. It should be emphasized that gun stand is in constant contact with the VR glasses regarding its movements. In electrical design thinking, 12v 7 Ah battery is used for the Arduino and the motor shield because their power consumption rates vary. While the motor shield runs all the motors on the robot, the Arduino board acts as the brain that receives impulses from the controls the motor shield. l 12V battery creates the power suction fan, which makes the entire battery 7 amperes for the robot. The chassis frame is made from hard board paper due to its flexibility and availability. The Arduino microcontroller board is mounted on the chassis and placed on the front wheel, easily transported by other interacting components. The communications is done by using ZIG BEE modules and we have a button which, when pressed fires the shot. These devices are commanded by the automation industry, service industry and so on. Important work of defense and military can be done using robotics, which are more accurate and effective in saving lives. Output, Individuals involved in combat operations such as snipers or sharpshooters are also at risk of retaliation from enemies. Considering all these factors, the robot surrogate Marksman is the best solution that will allow the shooter to aim accurately and not engage in their life sacrifice.

Project Objectives

The main Aim of the project is to enhance the functions of robotics in the field of sniping and to make the whole system of sniper shooting more accurate, safer and closer to the target. We also aim to do the project in an economical way since the advancements in the fields of technology have made a great leap in the past two decades. The induction of cheaper and advance technology can be implemented in any fields. Our objectives are stated below:- 

1. To give freedom of movement of the Gun in the X and Y axis in correlation of the movement of the VR glasses.

2. To provide the real time monitoring so that a user can easily track the position of the target and the achieve accuracy and press ion in shooting the target.

3. To design an effective sharp shooter for Military, Hunting or Security purposes.

4. To learn the practical application of the implementation of the programming codes of the project with the hardware

5. To recognized the object through the camera of the VR glasses and take a perfect aim.

6. To make the project at a very nominal cost.

7. To learn advance technology in robotics, communications, movement and object recognition.  

Project Implementation Method

Researchers have begun using user-grade AR / VR systems for robotic control. Whitney et al. [4] Non-traditional users have been shown to be more efficient at teleprotecting a robot than monitor interfaces using a traditional keyboard and VR. Robots with VR interfaces have faster full-time, lower cognitive workload and higher usability and user satisfaction scores than telecommuting robots through traditional keyboard and monitor interfaces. Lipton [5] developed a VR-robot telepression system that used the robot's homiculus model, in which the user was actually embedded in a "control room" inside the robot's "mind". In an unofficial assessment, the researchers asked users to control the robot to work with multiple manufacturers and objects of different sizes and compatibility. With the Homunculus VR model, users successfully select each object, move it between the robot's hands, and finally place each object in a box. User-grade composite reality displays are also used to support human-robot interactions. In a study by Rosen et al [6], researchers researched mixed reality displays (i.e. Microsoft HoloLens) to indicate the robot's planned movement when working with humans in mixed locations. Communication of speed intended in this way can help reduce the risk of accidents in many industrial settings. Participants who used HoloLens to visualize the robot's planned movement made more accurate and precise judgments about collisions than participants using 2D display. Research by Godre et al [7] allowed users to use the Microsoft Holo Lens interface not only from the robot, but also to convert and modify the robot into a visual programming interface for the device. Used. Many participants performed clearer and less cognitively demanding visual programming using a mixed reality headset than using the traditional syntax method of robot programming. He noted that the use of user-grade mixed reality displays shows the great promise of making robot programming accessible to a wide variety of users.

Benefits of the Project

The applications of robotics are employed in various applications such as scientific research, personal assistance, entertainment, automotive manufacturing line, education, and greeting guests and visitors. Usage of robots developed with artificial intelligence algorithms is expected to increase in perilous tasks such as space exploration missions. Various sensors including proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors and actuators are used in robotics to measure the surrounding attributes in order to help the robots work efficiently. 
Robotic virtual sniper can be used in several places. They can be used in:  
1. War fields for military purpose.  
2. Security and surveillance purposes.
3. Hunting and Leisure.

By analyzing the above stated applications we can see that the uses of such a sub are immensely important and considering the aims of developing such a sub which is economically very viable and efficient in its performance.

RDS 3115 SERVOS :
The position is a 16-bit number (low byte/high byte) with the heartbeat width tweak (PWM) in µS. Setting the PWM 1500 (1500uS or 1.5mS) will set the servo to the middle situation as a rule. The PWM that is typically upheld is from 1000uS (1mS) to 2000uS (2mS). 

 MPU 6050 
The MPU 6050 Gyro accelerometer is placed on the glove of the user at the transmitter side. This is a 3 axis accelerometer and a 3 axis gyro which sends information on the tilt on any direction or on the yawing of the movement of the hand. This used an I2C protocol for communication and requires a power of 3.3 volts. The high accuracy is provided by the inbuilt 16 bit ADC. 

 ARDUINO UNO 
 The microcontroller board we are using with the Bluetooth hc-06 mounted on top is the arduino uno based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs).
