Design and construction of a general multipurpose robot is discussed in this work. The proposed robot can be used both in civil and military fields. The design and placement of various sensors, wheel system, mechanical arms as well as wireless communication mechanism and remote controlling mechanism are discussed here in details. The coordination of its various parts to perform different jobs is also discussed. The movement of the proposed robot can be controlled wirelessly either from the control unit within its transmitter’s range or from a GSM cellular mobile from any distance where corresponding mobile network is available. After constructing the robot, it was tested in indoor and outdoor and found working well. For civil use, it can be used in detecting gas leak in home or industry, surveillance of shopping mall, parking lot, office, industry, bank, museum etc., helping rescue operation during natural disaster and aftermath as well as supplying food or other essentials to the people under unreachable ruin where human access is difficult or risky. It can also perform military surveillance like spying enemy base, exploring unknown enemy territory, night security on various spheres, anti-intrusion defence or as a mobile communication base during war with GSM communication from any location. The structure and design of the proposed robot is adaptive and can be modified to enhance its capability to further level.
