1. The robot will be programmed to patrol on a defined route.
2. The robot will let the pedestrians and vehicles pass when he senses them.
3. The robot can serve in night-time operation.
4. The robot will alert when he senses the heat.
5. I need to monitor everything which the robot captures.
Could you advise me on the accessories needed to create a security patrol robot regarding the above points?
This sounds like a rather large project, I would recommend getting the robot patrolling first and then adding the additional sensors and operations.
Firstly I would recommend using a Raspberry Pi 3 with the NoIR camera for video input.
You can then add some IR LEDs around the camera to provide a night-vision mode for patrolling at night.
Next you will want a solid base for the robot, something which has plenty of control and mounting points for sensors.
I would suggest a robot like our DiddyBorg would be great for this purpose.
For monitoring check out our DiddyBorg WebUI.
This should work with both the normal and NoIR cameras allowing remote robot viewing and control.
You can easily use the WebUI in a passive mode so that you can only watch what is going on.
GPS
I’d like to try the robot is patrolling along the defined route by using GPS. May I know the DiddyBorg has the built in feature for the GPS? How do I configure for the GPS?
Secondly, I’d like to try how the robot sense something blocks in front of him. If found something, turn left or right in order to pass over the block. Is the distance sensor like ultrasonic built in?
Could you support me the coding sample for how to control the robot with the sensors, camera and GPS?
Thanks.

Security patrol robot
It all depends on what you want your security robot to be able to do.

Extra sensors
Both the GPS and Ultrasonic sensors would be add-ons to the DiddyBorg.
The Ultrasonics can be added using an UltraBorg.
This thread talks about it in more detail: Use UltraBorg to control DiddyBorg.
We do not sell any GPS add-ons for the Raspberry Pi.
You will need something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2324
As for the code it will have to be something custom for your task.
We can help, but you will have to do most of the coding yourself.

Does your DiddyBorg set
Does your DiddyBorg set include the RaspberryPi and camera?
Do you sell the complete package as shown in the videos?
