Design, Development and Implementation of Remote Control System for Small Ground Vehicle and Related Automation
Summary:
In the past, attempts have been made to automate functions and many automatic systems (eg, a vacuum cleaner) have been created to help people. So on this research paper, we built a small and flexible vehicle and placed a small wireless camera on it
Our aim is to monitor a space remotely by optical means and to remotely control the vehicle with new technologies (eg Wi-Fi communication). It can be used to monitor areas without the need for human presence, but only one vehicle operator within range (up to 100 meters away) as it has a wireless live video camera and video recording capability. The vehicle will also carry on it sensors (eg temperature), the data of which are collected and sent to a screen back to the operator.
It serves for research purposes, for places that are not accessible, because of limited space or dangerous - inhospitable environments (eg caves). Finally, it is practical because it is small and flexible and has good autonomy.
For construction we used a 260mm x 150mm vehicle. The power supply, as well as the main board and the rest of the circuits, are powered with high-capacity batteries for great autonomy. Project communication is handled with Wi-Fi technology (NRF24L01 board). We have the camera positioned at the front on a rotating base for better surveillance of the area. There are 2 main LEDs in the front to light up, in low light cases. A Controller was also built to control all functions. Finally, all of these are connected to two simple open source motherboards (Arduino UNO & Arduino Nano) with a built-in microcontroller (ATmega328P)..
