Smart Internet of Things Projects

By: Agus Kurniawan

Overview of this book

Internet of Things (IoT) is a groundbreaking technology that involves connecting numerous physical devices to the Internet and controlling them. Creating basic IoT projects is common, but imagine building smart IoT projects that can extract data from physical devices, thereby making decisions by themselves. Our book overcomes the challenge of analyzing data from physical devices and accomplishes all that your imagination can dream up by teaching you how to build smart IoT projects. Basic statistics and various applied algorithms in data science and machine learning are introduced to accelerate your knowledge of how to integrate a decision system into a physical device. This book contains IoT projects such as building a smart temperature controller, creating your own vision machine project, building an autonomous mobile robot car, controlling IoT projects through voice commands, building IoT applications utilizing cloud technology and data science, and many more. We will also leverage a small yet powerful IoT chip, Raspberry Pi with Arduino, in order to integrate a smart decision-making system in the IoT projects.

Chapter 4. Making Your Own Autonomous Car Robot

In this chapter, we will explore how to build a car robot by integrating some sensor and actuator devices to make the robot run without human interference. We will also learn how to navigate the robot and control it from your computer.

We will explore the topics in the following sections:

  • Introducing autonomous systems

  • Introducing mobile robots

  • Building your own car robot

  • Working with the Pololu Zumo robot for Arduino

  • Controlling a car robot from a computer

  • Working with a GPS module for navigation

  • Introducing map engine platforms

  • Building a navigated car-based GPS

  • Making your own autonomous car
