Inspiration This project was inspired by search and rescue missions in which people lost their life.
What it does This is a semi-autonomous rover that can be controlled remotely and uses artifical intelligence to search through unsafe places for survivors and other items.
How we built it We built this using an
arduino microcontroller an HC-05 controller 2 modified servos cardboard wheels and a base and a webcam to do the object detection Challenges we ran into Our motors came factory at two different speeds so we needed to adjust the size of the wheels to accompany that Our original stepper motors burned out after accidentally overvolting it We couldn't implement the webcam due to power issues. Accomplishments that we're proud of Building a working robot from scratch Being able to get the artificial intelligence working What we learned How to gear something differently How to communicate through bluetooth with little latency How to communicate through serial for arduino What's next for Remote Explorer Switching to a raspberry pi so we can add the webcam on the robot
