IOT Smart Car aka MBED Based Remote Temperature Sensor

Introduction

This project is about demonstrating an IOT application using MBED Application board LPC1768. In this project a toy car has been hacked for demonstrating a remote sensor. According to Oxford Dictionary definition of a "Robot" is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. This toy car according to the definition of a robot does fall in the category of being a robot therefore in the next sections the car will be refereed with terminologies as "Robot Car" or "Robot".

Goal

The goal of the project is to make a Robot that:

  • Can act as a Smart remote sensor by updating sensor data via Ethernet and Wifely Interface.
  • Can be controlled or accessed from a remote position using various interfaces.

Functionality:

As this project is done for educational purpose rather than for commercial product therefore our team tried to use all bits and pieces of what we have learnt in the class to implement in this project. For clear vision the functionality of the Robot is broken down into different modes(a manner of acting or doing). The modes of the Robot are as follows:

  • Mode1: Manual Mode - |PS2 + Xively + Wifely|
  • Mode 2: Semi-Auto- |Telnet + Xively + Ethernet|
  • Mode 3: Automatic- |Xively + Wifely+Obstacle Avoidance|

Components

Following components are used for the project:
