| Summary: | 碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 100 === In today’s world where natural disasters are becoming more common, rescue operations are often restricted by geographic environment and safety considerations. This results to unable to receive timely information and thus missing the critical opportunity for rescue. In addition, people nowadays have become more and more concerned with household safety; the installation of surveillance systems has become very common. However, the conventional surveillance system has reached its limits due to its camera angles and lack of mobility. Furthermore, the system becomes even more limited due to privacy and practical issues.
In recent years, the booming development of smartphones has led to which nearly everybody has one. Smartphones enable people to receive in-time information, or communicate to others through network communities, becoming an indispensable tool in our daily lives.
In this research, we designed a remote-control, photo-shooting car which uses a smartphone as the remote control. The user is able to control the vehicle through a remote web and monitor the video images. A camera, wireless card, PWM module and web server are installed onto the Android system. In addition, a website was designed which displays shot photos from the camera photos and the control buttons to the vehicle. Actions of the vehicle are controlled and video images from the camera can be viewed by the coordination of the Android handheld device (remote control), browser and BeagleBoard-xM developed platform connection.
The wireless, photo-shooting, remote car proposed in this study utilizes wireless network for replacing the RF module and achieve distance control. In addition, the vehicle is controlled by PWM signals generated by the BeagleBoard-xM development board. This allows a cross-platform system which can be installed onto other carriers.
