Abstract

The study implements a simple mobot system integrated with machine vision which utilizes both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as wireless media. Command signals are transmitted using Bluetooth, while a live video stream is transmitted using Wi-Fi. The main computer in the study is the ATmega 1281 microcontroller unit embedded in the GizDuinoX board. A digital compass sensor is used to detect an obstacle near the mobot. Moreover, a transformation algorithms is developed to map real-world coordinates with smartphone environment coordinates using video analysis and calibration. Arduino Development Environment 1.0.4 is used to develop the firmware of the mobot. On the other hand, Eclipse Integrated Development Environment and Android Standard a development Kit are used to develop the control software. The software is designed to be as interactive as possible by maximizing the smartphone's on-board sensors such as its accelerometer and its capacitive touch screen. To evaluate the mobot system, it is subjected to some tests such as Bluetooth-to-smartphone communication, and maximum Bluetooth range.
