Car Genie -Designing A Prototype Of Automated Vehicle System

Abstract

This project aims to develop a prototype of a robot
car that can be controlled using a smartphone via
Wi-Fi. The goal is to build a robust, flexible, and
efficient system that requires minimal resources. At
the heart of the system lies the ESP8266
microcontroller, which acts as the main processing
unit. It connects with other modules, including a
smartphone and a Wi-Fi interface, to facilitate
wireless control of the robotic vehicle. To enhance
the system's capabilities, a front-facing camera is
integrated, allowing users to view real-time images
and video feeds directly on their smartphones. This
live video streaming feature offers precise control
and monitoring of the robot's movements, making it
suitable for applications like surveillance and
remote monitoring. Creating reliable monitoring
and surveillance systems presents numerous
challenges. These systems must adapt to different
environments and be capable of dynamic operation,
such as mobile camera surveillance that can
navigate a monitored area. For instance, monitoring
a large multi-storey building traditionally requires
installing numerous static cameras, which can be
expensive and resource-intensive. By using a mobile
surveillance unit like the proposed robot, it is
possible to significantly reduce these costs.
Furthermore, it addresses issues faced by security
personnel, such as the time and effort needed to
patrol vast areas. Thus, this system offers a practical
and scalable solution for real-time monitoring,
especially in locations where fixed surveillance is
not feasible.
