碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 電機工程學系 === 102 === This thesis is focused on the construction of a cleaning robot which provides wireless remote monitoring services, through modifying a commercial cleaning robot by adding vision, various environment sensors and networking capability. It has many advantages over the traditional cleaning robot which moves mostly randomly. This system consists of an IP camera, a computer, and a control board that drives motors on the cleaning robot. Besides, there are many sensors equipped on the robot, so it can measure surroundings and upload the data to the home-made Appserv web server through Wi-Fi. The user can access the data in the server by using web browser. Moreover the user can make the robot sweep around remotely with mobile app. The system uses an embedded control board, Arduino Mega2560, whose multiple digital I/O ports and serial ports can be used for motor control and data transfer. And after analyzing the captured images from IP camera by the software Processing on PC, robot could complete different assigned tasks automatically. Finally, system information is integrated using the server built in PC.
