In this paper we propose nonlinear control system for automatic unmanned vehicle using a RC (Radio Controlled) car which is usually controlled by a remote controller. In the proposed system, a RC car is dissembled and reassembled with several parts enabling it to be controlled by an android mobile platform with Bluetooth communication. In our system, an android mobile smartphone is mounted on the RC car and plays an important role as an eye of the car. The proposed system automatically controls the RC car to follow a lane that we draw on the floor of our laboratory. Also, the proposed RC car system can also be controlled manually using the accelerometer sensor of a smartphone through a Bluetooth module. Our proposed system that has both manual mode and automatic mode consists of several components; a microprocessor unit, a Bluetooth serial interface module, a smartphone, a dual motor controller and a RC toy car. We are now in the development of a group driving system in which one car follows the front car that tracks a lane automatically.

IoT(Internet of Things) is no longer just a concept, and It has become common as individual users have tried to implement it directly through small boards and components. This research implemented a system to control a general toy car using Raspberry pi and motor driver. This research will help develop ordinary toy cars to RC cars or learn on their own and drive on their own through further development.

본 논문에서 우리는 장난감 자동차의 비선형 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 무선 장난감 자동차에 안드로이드 모바일 플랫폼과 블루투스 통신모듈을 설치한다. 제안된 시스템은 스마트폰의 삼축가속도 센서를 이용한 제어와, 터치인터페이스에 의한 제어, 그리고 자치권을 가진 자율주행이 가능하다. 제안된 시스템을 이용하여 실험실에 설치된 차선을 자동으로 추적하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 향후 다중추적 자율시스템으로 확장을 계획하고 있다.

본 논문에서 장난감 자동차를 이용한 차선의 검출과 신호등을 인식하는 자율주행 자동차 시스템에 관한 연구이다. 제안된 시스템에서는 장난감 자동차를 분해하여 라즈베리파이보드와 아두이노보드을 설치하고, 임의로 설치된 차선과 신호등을 인식하여 주행하도록 구현한다. 차선의 검출은 자동차의 상단에 설치된 파이카메라로부터 입력영상을 획득하고, 획득된 영상의 하단부분에서 차선검출을 통하여 자동차의 방향을 제어한다. 또한 트랙의 상단에 설치된 신호등의 초록과 빨강 신호를 검출하고 인식하도록 구현하였다.

When the bluetooth technology of smartphone is applied to a remote control system, communication errors caused by wave attenuation and interference results in the shortening of communication distance, loss of the target device control and malfunctioning. In this study, we propose a method to adopt a retransmission persistence controlled S/W ARQ in bluetooth communication to minimize the effect of the communication failure and to detect and handle the state where the target device gets lost control. We implemented a motor-driven RC car equpped with a bluetooth communication module and a steering application program on smartphone to test the proposed method. The experiments are conducted in three communication environments, and have resulted in the increase of the communication distance by at least 30% when S/W ARQ is applied. Moreover, when the communication was disrupted due to environmental disturbances, the S/W ARQ based system stopped immediately any undergoing operations to avoid possible malfunction.
