AEMUV (Arduino Electronic Multi-Usage Vehicle)

A vehicle controlled by an Android application using the gyroscope, wirelessly connected via Bluetooth; it has speed control, night vision, live video feedback received at the Android phone, obstacle avoidance, path finder, in-place rechargeable batteries and path record/replay. Designed to handle different kinds of indoor and outdoor applications and to explore areas that are difficult to reach.
