Development of real-time tracking and control mobile robot using video capturing feature for unmanned applications

A wireless tracking and controlling the mobile robot using video capturing feature (VCF) for unmanned applications is presented. It is a wheel-based and Radio frequency (RF wireless communicated) is used for communication between controller and the robot. The available motions of the robot are forward, backward, right, left and the combination of these movements. Besides, a camera is built in the robot for tracking. The video captured by the camera is displayed in the computer or Laptop by using the Window Media Encoder (WME) software that is able to be controlled by using Windows GUI remote control. It is built for the purpose of viewing the places that humans cannot reach. Same with other robots which are built to work at dangerous environment, it can be used to explore the situation of dangerous place that human cannot reach, for example, the natural disaster area, cave, underground and so on. On the others hand, it can also serve as an investigation robot in military field. It suits the task of searching for ambush or sneaking into enemy base to gather information
