Design and Construction of a Wireless Remotely Controlled Video Capturing Vehicle II
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The Video Capturing Vehicle (VCV) is a robotic video capturing vehicle with full ground mobility. The control of the robotic vehicle is achieved using Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) technique. The VCV is controlled by a Remote Control System (RCS) which consists of a Personal Computer (PC) with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) application interfaced via Universal Serial Bus (USB) to a DTMF generating circuit and an FM transmitting circuit that sends DTMF codes via Radio Frequency (RF) link to the VCV robot. The robotic vehicle consists of an FM receiver, a DTMF decoding circuit, a microcontroller circuit board and an Internet Protocol (IP) camera. Using the DTMF codes, the direction and motion of the VCV, as well as the viewing angle of the VCV’s camera is controlled by the RCS. The robot while moving, simultaneously captures video feeds using the IP camera attached to it and sends captured video feeds via Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to which the PC at the RCS is initially connected to. The received video feed is displayed on the GUI. This system finds application in diverse areas such as surveillance, viewing of human inaccessible area, experimentation (monitoring health hazardous areas remotely), military applications as well as other industrial and security pursuits. Keywords: Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF), Graphic User Interface (GUI), Internet Protocol (IP), Radio Frequency (RF), Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interfacing, Video Capturing Vehicle (VCV), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
