Design and Development of an Arduino Based WiFi Robot

Abstract

A WiFi enabled remotely controllable robot is very handy in many ways. For example anyone can use such a robot as a home surveillance system remotely by only using a smartphone. In this project, a robot has been designed and developed that can be controlled by WiFi from remote place. To receive WiFi signal a WiFi shield has been interfaced with Arduino UNO microcontroller board. A motor driver has been used to change the direction of rotation and to drive the wheels of the robot. A program has been developed for the system using C+ programming language. The project has been constructed successfully and tested. The robot can be used for remote vehicle control or vehicle automation system.
