Abstract
AutoNav, a Bluetooth-enabled vehicle that can be operated with a Bluetooth-enabled device like a smartphone or tablet, is one type of robotic vehicle. A Bluetooth module is integrated into the vehicle to establish communication with the user's device, enabling wireless control of the vehicle's movements and actions. A chassis, two DC motors, a motor driver module, an Arduino or an alternative microcontroller, an HC-05 or HC-06 Bluetooth module, a breadboard and jumper wires, and a power source are the standard components of a robot car. The microcontroller interprets and translates the commands transmitted by the controller app to the robot car in a particular manner into physical motor movements. This car also has a color sensor capable of identifying specific colors. A Bluetooth-controlled robot car has the potential to be utilized for multiple purposes, including research, education, and entertainment. It provides a fun and interactive way to learn about robotics and programming while also allowing for experimentation and customization of automobile's features.
