Multipurpose Unmanned Rover in WiFi Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The project aims to build a multipurpose autonomous rover that could move by itself or by a remote controlled mechanism. It can be sent to hostile and hazardous places where it is unsafe for humans, like mines, radioactive prone areas, etc. thereby reducing human risk. The rover is provided with various sensors that monitors parameter like temperature and smoke. The sensors continuously monitors the environment and update the value to the cloud server, enabling the user to view the values in a website, in real time. The rover could be controlled from smartphone with the help of a Bluetooth app. In addition to this, the webpage has buttons to control the rover. Also, a camera mounted on the rover live streams the video to the webpage, assisting in controlling the movement. The rover can also be used for surveillance, with the help of camera and motion detection algorithms. There is also an automatic mode in which the rover moves on its own in a predefined path.
