Project Description

The Rock N’ Rover project is a sophisticated remote control car that integrates advanced technologies to offer an engaging application of engineering principles. Its primary goal is to create a versatile and user-friendly vehicle featuring active communication, ultrasonic sensing, and live video streaming directly from a custom mobile application. Motivated by the desire to apply multidimensional engineering concepts, the project aims to design a reliable car with DC motors, an infrared receiver, an ultrasonic sensor, and a camera. It includes a custom-built hardware remote controller using infrared transmission and a user-friendly mobile app for control. The car's camera provides a live video feed for remote navigation, while the ultrasonic sensor ensures safe operation by detecting obstacles. The project highlights the efficient application of engineering knowledge, offering hands-on experience in hardware design, software development, and system integration. It combines skills from electrical and computer engineering, showcasing the versatility of modern engineering techniques. Emphasizing sustainability and utility, the project employs efficient power management and cost-effective components to create a durable vehicle suitable for various conditions.
