Abstract

This paper is an effort that has been put to serves the needs of land survey. Here, a robot is developed to conduct land survey, specifically to calculate the area of a given land and to divide it into subplots. The process involves two parts- Survey Robot and area measurement module. The Rover is controlled through the Arduino & Compass module to move about the entire plot. The destination coordinates are already given in the code. Once the current location is fixed, it calculates the distance and heading between the two points. The compass module tells the current heading of the rover. The final heading is calculated by taking the difference between actual heading and current heading. With the help of final heading angle, the rover moves towards its desired location. As the rover moves close to the destination the distance reduces. Once the distance is less the rover stops, assuming it has reached to the destination location.
