Abstract
Nowadays, according to the new and variable data of the time, there is an ever-
increasing trend of using various mobile devices or accessories and connecting them via the
internet, which makes our lives much easier. This network is called the Internet of Things
(Internet of Things IoT) and has contributed significantly to various areas of human daily life,
such as the smart home, industrial operations, the transportation and distribution of goods,
energy issues and applications, in the public sector but also in health.
In the present dissertation, a system that allows the operation of vehicles via the Internet
was designed and implemented. More specifically, the vehicle consists of a low cost and low
power microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a camera. Its built-in camera will
provide live video transmission so each user will be able to operate the vehicle from their
computer screen without any physical eye contact. For the best and easiest handling of the
vehicle, two applications were implemented, an online and a Windows application, where the
user will be able to choose which of the two he wishes to use. Both applications offer the user
functions for adjusting the camera and led flash for points with lower lighting. Also, for greater
flexibility of the system, an Android application was developed which receives from the
microcontroller via Bluetooth the available wireless networks, and then the user can select and
connect to one of them. Finally, a printed circuit board (PCB) was designed and implemented,
which was adapted to the vehicle to avoid multiple uses of cables, but also to offer stability and
reliability in the event of a collision.
