Internet of Things: Roboboat for Water Area Monitoring using 4G network and Google Firebase

摘要

In this research Roboboat implemented to monitor water area, this system uses Raspberry Pi as main controller unit, roboboat are equipped with a camera and GPS module for real time monitoring, by taking pictures of surrounding environment, then send the image to cloud real time database. Roboboat can controlled by using applications on android smartphone using the 4G network, and users can view the captured image and coordinates of the roboboat location on the application screen, roboboat has dimensions of 51.2 × 21.8 × 14.4 cm. Results of data transmission speeds for send the command from application on android smartphone to control roboboat, in outdoor obtained an average speed is 1.84 second, Time for displaying images on the application is 5.68 seconds with image file around 4 Mb.
