RobotCarRemote

An IoT Remote Control Car System developed using ESP8266, Arduino, Java, and React Native.

---

Overview

RobotCarRemote is an innovative IoT project that transforms an ordinary car into a remotely controlled smart car. This system integrates hardware and software components to enable seamless control via a React Native mobile application.

The project leverages the ESP8266 microcontroller for wireless communication, Arduino for hardware control, Java for backend integration, and React Native for an intuitive and user-friendly mobile interface.

Features

• Real-time Remote Control: Control the car's movement in real time using a mobile application.
• Wi-Fi Communication: Uses ESP8266 for wireless communication between the car and the mobile app.
• Customizable Controls: User-friendly interface built with React Native, allowing personalized control settings.
• Sensor Integration: Optional integration with sensors (e.g., ultrasonic, IR) for obstacle detection and autonomous features.
• Modular Design: Easy to extend or modify for additional features.
