Abstract:
Modern technology makes it impossible for humans to travel everywhere, so we are putting
forth a mind-controlled vehicle that can be used for a variety of purposes, including military
remote surveillance and robots that disperse bombs. As part of our approach, we have put
Arduino instructions in programmes that serve as a middleman between an android controller
and an Arduino vehicle. The Android mobile controller tracks motion with a variety of mobile
sensors. To enable first-person vehicle viewing through the headset, a camera is installed on
the vehicle, and live video is transferred with the aid of a Raspberry Pi to the receiver in the
headset. After doing all of this, we must thoroughly test the project to find any flaws or illogical
sequences of instructions in the microprocessor programme. We can only firmly say that we
have accomplished our stated goal after finishing this activity.

1.Introduction
This is an Arduino based, Mind controlled RC vehicle. It is controlled by a smartphone
application. A smartphone app is used to control it. Instead of using buttons, gestures, or any
other control method, a Bluetooth-enabled vehicle is operated by an Android smartphone. The
vehicle may be moved forward, backward, left, and right by simply touching a button on an
Android phone. As a result, a Bluetooth module installed in the vehicle is employed as the
receiver and an Android phone as the transmitter. In order for the vehicle to travel in the desired
direction, such as forward, backward, turning left, turning right, and stopping, the Android phone
will communicate commands using its built-in Bluetooth.
2.Methodology
This model is designed using Arduino Uno, HC-05 Bluetooth Module, Motor Driver Module
L298N, Micromorts and Grippy Wheels, Jumper Wires, Bluetooth Controller vehicle, Camera,
FPV Transmitter, FPV Receiver (Goggles), Raspberry Pi. The first step was to measure and
study the characteristics and features of the sensors. Different mobile sensors are used by the
Android mobile controller to monitor motion. The second step was the decision making, sensing,
measuring, fixing of the threshold value, periodicity of sensitivity, timing and space and sensor
data acquisition. Then the mounted camera sends the live feed when operated by the
Raspberry Pi to the android application in VR via Wi-Fi. The mind-controlled vehicle will travel to
locations that are inaccessible to people or that are too dangerous for them to explore

3.Proposed Model
We proposed a mind-controlled vehicle which helps us in doing various tasks. We used a
camera to check its surroundings while driving it

Working: The project's objectives include designing an Android user interface, an Arduino bot,
and programming an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller in the Arduino
vehicle has some basic mobility characteristics. Instructions are included in Arduino applications
that act as a mediator between an android controller and an Arduino vehicle. A vehicle is made
that will be used based on the use case. Different mobile sensors are used by the Android
mobile controller to monitor motion. To allow users to interact with the Arduino-powered
automobile, we must develop an Android application . To enable first-person vehicle viewing
through the headset, a camera is installed on the vehicle, and live video is transferred with the
aid of a Raspberry Pi to the receiver in the headset. The transmitted image will be changed to a
format which is the most compatible with the VR headset by Raspberry Pi using Owl OS. The
interface is simple to use and transmits feedback to the Arduino microcontroller through
Bluetooth after receiving commands for a variety of activities from the interface via Bluetooth
module as shown in the Fig[3.1].

4.Implementation and Result

RC vehicles have been created to provide access to areas that are inaccessible to people.
If this concept is used in drones and in big vehicles, its use cases will multiply by a lot such as
transporting/delivering and driving vehicles for disabled respectively, etc.
It can be used by the military in surveying rooms before entering to look out for enemies then by
archeologists to move around in newly discovered ruins safely etc as we an see the prototype
model in Fig[4.1][4.2].

5.Use cases
Various use cases will result in a change in the model's price and structure.
Our model will be a basic model that will work on the most basic tarain. But the model can be
improved with additional equipments and additional sensors depending on different use cases.

● Exploring areas that pose a risk to human safety.

● Remote controlled food delivery.
● For armed forces expeditions.
● Using airborne drones to capture ground views.
● A remote-controlled vehicle for aerial photography and mapping
We can develop a user interface like a web app which can display information to the user.

6.Conclusion
We created a remote-controlled car that can be operated with a VR headset. Depending on the
various use cases, the automobile will drive or perform different functions in accordance with the
movements of the VR headset.
This model can be changed to fit various use cases. If the use case changes, additional
modifications to the vehicle will be required. The vehicle's usefulness can also be increased by
adding various other components and sensors.
The device requires very little maintenance and is both affordable and eco-friendly. Depending
on the use case, the vehicle may be sturdy and light or heavy. For example, if the terrain is
steep and difficult, we will require a heavy-duty truck.
