Study of using MQTT cloud platform for remotely control robot and GPS tracking

Abstract

This paper proposed the study of using MQTT cloud platform for remotely control and tracking robot by using GPS module. The system consists of 3 main components: cloud platform, internet connection enabled robot, and control and tracking application, work in conjunction by employed MQTT protocol for 2-ways communication between application and robot. The experiment has been conducted by operator sending command control to the robot and receive GPS data for robot position tracking. The experiment result shows the feasibility of the implementation of MQTT cloud platform into remotely control robot and tracking performs, which results in lower data transmission time due to lower packet size. Also, as the cloud-based system, control can be perform anywhere as long as the system connect to the internet.
