Implementation of RemRover: A Remotely Controlled Rover Built using IoT and Web Sockets

This project presents the implementation of RemRover, a remotely controlled IoT-based rover that integrates sensor data monitoring and real-time robot control using web sockets via the Adafruit IO platform. The rover is built around a Raspberry Pi, serving as the central controller, interfaced with multiple sensors including DHT11 (for temperature and humidity), MQ135 (for air quality/gas detection), and BMP180 (for atmospheric pressure and altitude). The collected environmental data is continuously uploaded to Adafruit IO, allowing users to remotely monitor the rover’s surroundings. Simultaneously, the rover can be controlled through Adafruit IO dashboards using directional commands such as forward, backward, left, right, and stop, which are transmitted over web sockets to the Raspberry Pi. This dual functionality of environmental sensing and remote actuation makes RemRover a versatile platform for remote exploration, smart surveillance, or educational applications in IoT and robotics.
