Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to establish a communication between a mobile robot with IoT platform, to control mobile robot through Wi-Fi or IoT platform and to evaluate the performance of the remote control mobile robot using Wi-Fi or IoT. Current mobile robot and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) can only be instructed or programmed when it is connected to the local computer or central controller. Without Wi-Fi connection, this type of AGV cannot be monitored or controlled in real times, which is one of the requirements for flexible manufacturing system towards Industry 4.0. Based on this purpose, a remote controlled mobile robot which is controlled through Wi-Fi connection and over the internet connection has been developed. Several tests had been carried out including reliability test, distance test and environment test. For the reliability test, the mobile robot was controlled by commanding specific direction using a controller. The test was carried out to investigate whether the mobile robot will follow the direction of the controller or not. For the distance test, mobile robot was controlled by placing the mobile robot at a distance of 200 m to 20 000 m to the controller. The test was carried out to investigate whether the distance between the controllers and the mobile robot will affect the performance. Lastly, for environment test, the mobile robot was controlled by placing it at three different areas. The test was conducted to study whether the outside signal will affect the performance of the mobile robot. The results from these tests show that the mobile robot can be controlled as long as there is internet connection.
