The project focuses on the development of an IoT-based military robot equipped with video surveillance capabilities for human detection and control via a web interface. The system utilizes a Raspberry Pi Zero W as the main controlling unit, along with a Pi Camera and an SD card for video input. Pi camera is used to capture the real time images and sd card is used to store and transfer digital data.   Power is supplied by a 12V battery regulated by an LM2596 module. This LM2596 coverts the 12v to constant 5v. The output control for the robot's movement is managed by an L293D motor driver interfaced with DC motors. The web interface allows remote monitoring and control of the robot's movements, making it suitable for military applications such as reconnaissance and surveillance in hazardous environments.

The main objective of this project is:

• Enable real-time video surveillance of human activity in remote or hazardous environments using the Pi Camera and web interface.
• Allow remote control of the robot's movements and actions via the web interface, enhancing its utility in military reconnaissance and surveillance operations.
• Implementing autonomous behavior for the robot to enhance its capability to operate in complex environments without human intervention.
• Developing a user-friendly web interface for controlling the robot and accessing surveillance footage, making it accessible to operators with minimal technical expertise.

The major building blocks of this project are:

• Regulated power supply.
• Raspberry Pi zero w.
• Pi camera.
• Sd card.
• 12v battery.
• LM256.
• L293D Motor driver.
