Due to natural and manmade disaster, people are dying every year and a large number of people are becoming a victim of lack of proper surveillance data. A surveillance robot serves the purpose of monitoring the surrounding and provides enough data to act on the situation. This paper describes the development of a novel approach towards surveillance robots. The proposed robot is capable of providing live video footage, condition of the surrounding area by measuring temperature, humidity, amount of explosive gases, CO2 gas, flame, vibration and distance from obstacles. It is also capable of detecting a human & the chance of being alive and it has an arm to perform remote activity assisting the situation. The robot is built with aluminum and strong plastic. Because of continuous track, it can go through irregular surfaces. Besides, it has four helping legs, which have four motors with grip wheels that allow vertical movement. The whole robot is controlled by radio frequency which facilities long range wireless communication. The main objective to build the robot is to help the rescue workers and to knowthevictim’s condition in an underground hostage situation.
