Live Feed Capture Using Arduino Controlled RC Car

EasyChair Preprint 13572

Abstract

Utilizing an Arduino Uno can significantly enhance a RC car's capabilities, acting as its central control unit to manage tasks such as motor control, sensor integration, and remote control interpretation. Meanwhile, incorporating an ESP32 camera module into the RC car enables live video streaming from the onboard camera, allowing remote operation and providing an engaging experience. Leveraging the ESP32-CAM's functionalities, this research study has developed a novel vehicle monitoring and control system. Although the Arduino Uno's limited processing power and GPIO pins make it unsuitable for camera-related tasks, it can still activate the ESP32 camera module whenever required. This setup enables manual motor control via a smartphone app and real-time video surveillance, offering a comprehensive situational awareness to the driver. Additionally, a dedicated smartphone app facilitates direct communication with the developed system, granting manual control over the vehicle's motor driver, enhancing flexibility, and enabling quick responses in emergency situations. The integration of modern technologies enhances accident prevention control, elevating the overall user experience and safety of the RC car.
