Design and implementation of explorer mobile robot controlled remotely using IoT technology

摘要

The continuous development of Internet of Things brings new tools in different areas of robotics, for example in the robotics of services. This document presents a low-cost alternative for a mobile explorer robot that uses open hardware and software, whose design is intended to incorporate cameras, sensors and other peripherals to be able to inspect its environment in addition to being controlled remotely using the Internet technologies of the Things. For the first prototype, a camera and a temperature/air humidity sensor are added to the mobile robot. Through a graphical user interface (web application), the video is visualized with the environmental measurements of the place that the mobile robot runs and allows control it through the Internet.
