Remotely Controlled Robot

Utilizes user inputs via keyboard to control a VR object in Simulink

Required MATLAB Apps/Toolboxes: Computer Vision System Toolbox, Simulink 3D Animation

Details:

Simulation runs for 40seconds

Right: rotates object to the right

Left: rotates object to the left

Up: moves the object forward

Down: moves the object backwards

Any other button: stops object movement

Angular Velocity Function

Takes a key press and creates an angular velocity based on which key is pressed

(input: keyboard button press)

(output: angular velocity value)

Linear Velocity Function

Creates a linear velocity based on key press

(input: keyboard button press)

(output: linear velocity value)  

Future Tasks

1. Implement Bluetooth connectivity to get input values from a mobile device
2. Utilize Simulink for PWM signal creation instead of VR
3. Develop a GUI or app to create a more user-friendly design
4. Synchronize the real-time data between Matlab Mobile App and Simulink Model
5. Incorporate hardware (i.e. motors, raspberry pi, chasis, etc.)
