Aim
The aim of this project is to control electronic appliances at a remote area using
the internet
Objective
In this project we will not only control the robotic car but also analyze the
environment using it. As from the name it is obvious that it will be working as an
artificial intelligence system. Incase of lose of signals or destruction it will have his own
2
choices to make according to the situation. In brief it gives us a total surveillance of the
area in range.
Part Description
The project is divided in two portions the server, which is the computer part and
the other is the client which is the robotic car part. We will describe them both here.
Server: It consists on a PC, which controls the car using special application software,
which can also be accessed over the internet.
Client: The client will remain as a client till it is receiving signals but as soon as it goes
out of range it will also become a server will its on decision making.
The robotic structure will have, two servo motors controlling its movement and
steering. A Wi-Fi adapter for receiving packets along with an Ethernet to Serial Port
converter. Ultrasonic Range Sensor Module, so that the car won't bump into walls etc.
Light and darkness detectors, signal strength detector and return home option in which it
will reverse its algorithm and return home on the same path it moved to the destination.
