Abstract

The term of single board computer is used for computers which has built on a single circuit board with microprocessor, memory, input/output and other required units. In this study, control of a mobile robot in real time using Raspberry Pi which is a type of single board computer is performed via internet. In the developed system, all of the units in the mobile robot are controlled directly by Raspberry Pi, an additional microcontroller system is not used. Thus, without additional control equipment, a low cost and open source mobile robot design has been carried out.

Keywords
