Remote interactive robot vehicle design and implementation for smart security

In this study, a remote interactive robot vehicle was developed for smart security. A remote warning system was implemented with help of a camera by using the image processing technique in order to prevent any damage to the robot vehicle in park. In the event of the robot vehicle hitting any obstacle, it was ensured that it gave an audible warning, and it was ensured that it gave the necessary written notification on the electronic display. In addition, it is aimed that the vehicle owner can obtain information remotely by sending a message via e-mail over the internet. In the development of the robot, Raspberry Pi and Arduino mini computer boards, HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor, L298N motor driver board, Buzzer, HC05 Bluetooth sensor, ESP-01 Wi-Fi module, 16x2 LCD screen, Raspberry Pi camera module and LiPo battery for energy supply were used. A software created with Python programming language using Python OpenCV library was loaded on the Raspberry Pi card in order to read moving images, certain colors and the characters on the image taken from the camera in order to detect possible danger to the vehicle. When a moving image and a desired color are detected, a light warning was formed with the LED and a message is printed on the LCD screen. Along with these processes, it is also possible to send messages to any desired place over the internet. By using the Tesseract program, the characters on the picture were read and especially license plate information was recorded. In addition, it is also provided to send the recorded file to any desired location via e-mail over the internet. In summary, in this study, an intelligent robot vehicle that provides remote interaction and control for security requirements has been developed.
