Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The theft was intentionally taking someone else property. It could be dangerous for us because theft was unpredictable. It also commonly occurs at nighttime, the people were sleeping so that the intruder could attack your house without you even noticed it. A taser is an electroshock device that was useful in defending yourself. The person that electroshocked by the Taser would lose his control over his/her body. However, based on the situation, the Taser was used during daytime or when you were awake. This research study aimed to make innovation on TASER, it was the T.A.S.E.R. (The Anti-theft Shocking Electric Robot).

 

METHODS

Anchored with the theme "Security and Defense”, the TASER can also defend your important things by running toward the person and electrifying it when detected. The robot would be equipped with a Sumobot, LED, and distance sensor. One hundred trials would be made to test the accuracy of the distance sensor can activate the Taser. If any error occurs, the accuracy of the sensors would be observed and analyzed. Improvements for the placement and program of the distance sensor would be applied after determining the errors. It was designed to work in a real-life situation wherein the owner is sleeping and the intruder invades the house.

 

RESULTS

A total of six hundred trials were done for the robot. Three hundred trials wereconducted for the accuracy of the front, left and right distance sensor. Another three hundred trials were done for the activation of the led. The lighting of led represented the activation of TASER and it will only activate when a distance sensor detected something successfully. The data for the accuracy of each of the sensor and the activation of the led when a sensor detected something were the same. The front distance sensor was 89% accurate, the left distance sensor was 77% accurate and the right distance sensor was 75%.

 

DISCUSSIONS

Generally, the accuracy of the three distance sensors was accurate. All of the sensors had the accuracy of over 50%, which was good. Since the LED lights when a sensor detected something, the TASER could also activate the moment the sensor detected something. In real life situation/s, the TASER could be useful when a theft happened to a house.
