Build and Interface Internet Mobile Robot using Raspberry Pi and Arduino

摘要

In the recent years, the increasing use of wireless applications and the demand for a system that could easily connect devices for transfer of data over a long distance without cables became worldwide. This paper presents the Build and interface of a real time wheeled mobile robot installed above it an arm and a camera. Software system can be built in three various programming languages and   controlled via the internet using webpage protected with a username and password to make sure it cannot be hacked. The webpage is designed to control the mobile robot remotely through the internet by any web browser such as Mozilla Firefox. Camera is mounted on the animated base in two axes in order to have better visibility.The designed mobile robot can be remotely operated from everywhere around the world without being near the robot. It can be controlled by using any device, whether a laptop, a mobile or a tablet. It can move forward, reverse, turn right and left for a specific distance according to the controller specification. The mobile robot system is used to transfer foreign objects and access to areas that are unable to be accessed by humans. It is also used for purposes of monitoring to fit a camera. The development of this robot is based on Arduino Mega platform which will be interfaced with the microcomputer that is placed on the robot running as a server. After completing the design and testing the robot, time delay is calculated in different cases (LAN and WAN) network. Finally, this prototype of the robot is expected to solve many problems such as placing or picking objects that are far away from the user, picking and placing hazardous objects in the fastest and easiest way.
