Abstract
The opportunity for the future engineers for direct hands-on work in projects and the liberty of trying their solutions and to apply personal ideas with a large variety of electronic components, it will lead to a progress in everyday life for the future generations. In this paper we present a remote controlled ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) based on Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller which acquired the sensors data and controls the direction and acceleration. For the ROV localization it is used a Global Positioning System (GPS) module and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which provides the orientation in space and the heading as a deviation from the magnetic North. It connects trough WiFi at the Access Point which is identified by the name of the network and a password. The Access Point sends a string that consists of movement data and waits for a response from the ROV. In the message that the ROV sends are information's about the speed, latitude, longitude, an estimated roll, pitch and yaw. The ROV is controlled using LabView and Processing interfaces. A comparison of the results between the two interfaces and the type of data communication is presented.
