App-Operated Robot with Live Streaming and environmental sensor

Abstract

Being in inaccessible or dangerous environments requires remote controlled observation and control systems. This report describes the steps necessary for connecting various hardware components to each other and the software required to combine the hardware and software into a functioning system. This project presents the construction and implementation of an app-operated mobile robot capable of navigating different terrains, providing live video and image capture, and measuring ambient temperature. The system is built around a Jetson Orin Nano and integrates multiple hardware components, including a motor driver, motors, cameras, an environmental sensor and a 4G modem for remote communication. A server running on the robot handles video streaming, motor control commands, sensor data transmission, while a customdeveloped mobile application enables real-time monitoring and remote control. The robot was developed in a modular manner, allowing individual features to be implemented and tested incrementally. The results show successful remote control, live video streaming, and temperature monitoring, although communication instability due to the 4G modem affected latency and control responsiveness. Overall, the project demonstrates the feasibility of integrating hardware and software into a functional remotely operated robotic platform and provides a foundation for future enhancements.
