Description
Summary:The objective of this project is to study remote control and wireless data transfer between a user and a standalone ground-penetrating radar (GPR) platform. For the reason that the study cannot be tested on a real GPR platform, we build a remote control car as an experimental platform. A Micro programmed Control Unit (MCU) is used to control the movement of a car and a Wi-Fi module is used to transmit data between the car and users. By loading a digital camera on the top of the car, it can provide real-time video instead of the graphs of radar detecting results in actual situation. All the operations are achieved on a personal computer (PC) client, using a specific application to process the information and control the car. The research on the remote control focused on the control through the Internet in this dissertation. Meanwhile, we analyzed network delay problems of remote control system in detail and proposed several assumptions and methods of reducing the delay in the system. With several times of experiments, the remote control car system has accomplished the remote control from the Internet host to the car far away from it.
