IoT Based Joystick Controlled Pibot Using Socket Communication

The Internet of things (IoT) and automated frameworks is a key driver of robotic development technology. In current technology, robots are controlled using Smartphone. In our approach Driving Force GT Joystick is used to control the robot wirelessly and which provide precise manual control on a robotic vehicle. Compared to web-controlled or Smartphone controlled Pibot, joystick controlled Pibot is more effective since it provides speed control. In this work, Raspberry Pi is used as a base controller to control robotic car called Pibot to work as real-time system and vehicle operations are controlled remotely at the ground station using USB joystick. The camera on the Pibot is used for live video streaming on a webpage using HTTP server for surveillance. The server-client socket communication (via strong Wi-Fi) is performed for controlling the vehicle in the remote station using python programming.
