Build an Internet Controlled Robot

Wireless Card Method

1.Build a desired robot or you can directly purchase it from any vendor.
2.Search for the Wireless Internet Data Card in your country. It allows you to access internet while on the move.
3.Insert this card on the interface of robot. So, that your robot can start receiving signals anywhere in the city.
4.Integrate the software on your personal computer, which can receive all your instructions and then send it via internet to the Robot, standing at a distant location.
5.Open your laptop in your house, instruct the activity from the software to your robot, confirm the activity over the internet, and your robot will move forward or backward or do the required action asked by you at distant location.


Router Based Method

1.Parts required for this
2.Linksys WRT54G Router - Used as the wireless connection from Bestbuy
3.Comfiletech: Industrial Micro Controller/PLC "Cubloc"- I'm using the industrial kit for all my projects, but you can purchase the parts separately:
4.The Industrial Kit
5.Maxport: Ethernet to RS232 converter with web server.
6.Required robot.
7.Camera: The network camera draws about 2 amps at 12VDC
8.Build a robot that can be controlled and viewed over the internet. The planned final version will be a robot with a network camera attached. The onboard Linksys router will transmit the camera and micro controller signals to a second Linksys router attached to the cable internet at the remote location.
9.Take any robot, whom you want to be remote controlled.

Do Port Forwarding

Internet Interface:---There are two components to the interface. One a Visual basic program that sends and receives commands to the cubloc. Two, the cubloc program that receives the commands, controls the cubloc and turns the outputs on and off. The connection is: Laptop>Home Router>Bridged Route>Maxport>Cubloc


Visual Basic Program
1.I modified the visual basic program to automatically connect to my router via it's IP address when the "Connect Button" is pressed. The grid of buttons on the right send simple 4 digit commands to the car. Buttons above the red square issue forward commands with an appropriate steering component. Buttons below the red box issue reverse commands with appropriate steering signals. For example, the button two positions above the red square and two positions to the right issues the command "F2R3". Move forward for time 2 while steering to the right for time 3.
2.The Maxport is sticking out the backend of truck connected to the Linksys router through the blue ethernet cable. 2 Green lights can been seen on the Cubloc. The LCD display is in the passenger window. The relays are in the back window of the truck
