Abstract

Robots can be used in various fields due to their flexibility and diversity. This research focuses on designing and developing a multifunctional rover robot for research, exploration, and educational purposes. The main objective of the research is to design a Rover robot platform with remote control, IoT technology. Various scenarios have been created to test the robot's different capabilities, and its performance has been observed. The collected data have been analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The developed rover robot can be successfully controlled both through RC and IoT controls. Moreover, a web server has been developed for the IoT aspect of the robot, and both arm and head camera images of the robot are transmitted as IoT. The robot's modular design ensures suitability for various tasks and makes it suitable for educational purposes. The results of this study indicate the potential of multifunctional rover robots for various applications and their effectiveness as educational tools.

MPROVIOT – Çok Amaçlı IoT Rover Robot

Abstract

Robotlar esneklik ve çeşitlilikleriyle farklı alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, araştırma, keşif ve eğitim amaçları için çok amaçlı bir robot tasarlama ve geliştirme üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Araştırmanın ana amacı, uzaktan kumandalı ve IoT teknolojisine sahip bir Rover robot platformu tasarlamaktır. Robotun farklı yeteneklerini test etmek için çeşitli senaryolar oluşturulmuş ve robotun performansı gözlemlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler hem nitel hem de nicel yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Geliştirilen Rover robotu hem RC hem de IoT kontrolleriyle başarıyla yönetilebilmektedir. Ayrıca, robotun IoT yönü için bir web sunucusu geliştirilmiştir ve robotun hem kol hem de kafa kamerası görüntüleri IoT olarak iletilmektedir. Robotun modüler tasarımı, farklı görevler için uygun olmasını sağlamakta ve eğitim amaçlı kullanıma uygun hale getirmektedir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçları, çok amaçlı rover robotlarının farklı alanlarda kullanım potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ve eğitimde de etkili bir araç olabileceğini göstermektedir.
