Abstract:
With the presence of the Internet and its significant role in our life, everyone seeks to use it in all aspects of life to save time and money. There have been many types of research about linking anything surrounding us or the ecosystem to Internet. Also, there is the possibility to remote control things. The Internet of things has come because of these needs. This technology is based on connecting everything to internet and remotely control them either by phone applications, websites or even through cloud services.
The aim of this dissertation is to build a remote-operated micro grounded vehicle. It presents an experimental study in how to build complete internet of things system using cheap and frequent available component. The project is composed from three essential parts i.e. the vehicle that composed from the Arduino circuit board that interacts with modules e.g. WIFI and GPS modules, the server system that ensures the requests transmission from the user to the grounded vehicle and the information transmission from the vehicle to the user, and the Android-based mobile application that presents the interface for interaction with the user.
The obtained results will encourage and strengthen some type of industries in Algeria e.g. security, exploring and self-driving mobile vehicles. As it will demonstrate how from cheap components we could build innovative products that solve many daily problems and eliminate the necessity to import ready-made materials from foreign countries, which cost the government big amount of transferred fund.
