Designing and implementing an intelligent Zigbee and WLAN enabled robot car

Abstract

In this paper, a designing process and implementation details of an intelligent ZigBee and wireless local area network (WLAN) enabled robot car are described. ZigBee was used for the delivery of the robot car controlling commands, while WLAN was used for in-car image transmission to the controlling computer. In addition, intelligent solutions currently used in the robot car are explained. In order to test the operational capabilities of the robot car, a simple controlling scheme was implemented using a green laser dot. Moreover, intelligent methods and some new ideas that will be used in our future research work are proposed.
