4. Zigbee Module
Zigbee modules are used to transmit the data that has been
collected by different sensors to the receiver through RF

communication protocols.It overcomes the limitations of blue
tooth technology by allowing the data to be transmitted over
long distances.

represented using a flowchart shown below. V. RESULTS
In this paper,the movement of the bot is been achieved by
using the Keil software and L293D driver module.The robot
can be used in both manual and automated mode by pressing on
their appropriate buttons.By pressing the corresponding buttons
the robot moves in forward, backward, left and right.The robot
moves in automated mode once the auto mode button is clicked.
In this work,the robot is also streaming the live video of
the surroundings both during day and night with the help of a
night vision AV camera.It consumes low internet data and the
videos are transmitted without any delay.
The model is able to detect the metals present on the surface
and also able to detect any obstacle placed in front of it using
metal detectors and ultrasonic sensors.
