Spybot

My idea of of it is that it protects the house at night because while the family is asleep the spybot will be guarding the house with a small night vision camera.          (this seems like one robot that can help familys sense the crime rates are going up )  I hope my idea can become a real robot

Definitely an idea worth implementing.  I only see a problem with dogs inside the house.  Nevertheless, my dog has learned to ignore robots after she has seen so many. LOL.  At first she would go crazy barking at it like it was from outer space.  Now, it's as if it was never there.  A night vision robot would work best if it had:

1. a map of the house embedded in memory in the form of a binary matrix.  With this it can navigate across the house knowing where it is at, at all times (several beacons with different frequencies can be used so the bot uses this as a form of GPS called localization)
2. 4 wheel tank style drive
3. Infrared distance sensors for obstacle avoidance(dog might get in the way or be sleeping.  Would not want a robot to wake it from it's beauty sleep)
4. Night Vision camera will have a wi-fi connection where it feeds the data to an external hard drive.  Playback can be seen as well as check if there was any movement throughout the night.  motion detecting capabilities, in which many cameras come with that functionality already.
5. Self charging station (if the robot can navigate on it's own then why not have it's own charging station where it can get juiced up once the battery level reaches a threshold value.)

Any other ideas?  Of coarse as long as these ideas fit a certain budget.

ok ya heriberto I have ideas for you on the self charging spybot I came across this robot that cleans your house and it self charges in it's station maybe you can do that and mix it with spybot also for spybot to know the house well I saw this robot that cuts lawns and all u do is put like metal pickets and it sends a signal not to cross it and it stays with in it's perimiter ( I hope you can make it happen)
