| description | Given increasingly complex threats, adapting surveillance approaches to meet the necessary security levels is essential. The aim of this paper is to develop a surveillance architecture based on autonomous mechatronic systems (mobile robots and drones) designed to secure areas of strategic interest, covering a predefined space while providing enhanced security at minimal costs. Designing such a system is challenging due to the need for continuous monitoring, raising issues around autonomy, as well as the design of the navigation and command and control systems. This paper presents key surveillance systems, demonstrating their efficiency and further development potential. This paper discusses the steps taken to enable a team of autonomous mobile robots to monitor a known indoor location by using a specialized positioning system. Steps are taken to deploy, implement, and configure the said indoor global positioning system (GPS). Among those steps, a study is performed by attaching one of the mobile beacons to a linear axis and moving said axis to known points. This position is read by both the axis and the positioning system, and the results are compared. |
