Abstract

This article develops a detection system with a module-based intelligent security robot that has a uniform interface. The detection system contains a power detection module, a gas detection module, an environment detection module, and a fire detection module, etc. The control unit of these modules is a HOLTEK microchip. These modules can communicate with a master module via an I2C interface. The master module communicates with the main controller of the security robot via an RS232 interface. The main controller of the security robot system is an industry personal computer (IPC). It can display the status of these modules on the monitor. These detection modules can enhance the detection results using multisensory fusion algorithms. The user can add or remove the detection modules in any time, and the main controller can acquires sensor signals from these detection modules in real-time. Finally, we present some experimental results using these detection modules, and integrate these modules in a module-based intelligent security robot that executes several scenarios.
