SUMMARY
Field exploration is often needed for research or documentation purposes. Various risks are ignored for the sake of being explored somewhere. Wild animal attacks and extreme weather are examples of dangers that can pose a risk if exploration involves humans directly. Difficult terrain can also hamper research and documentation. To overcome the problem above, the Bogie Robot Rover was created. The robot installed a camera to facilitate research and documentation. Robots are designed in the form of explorer robots with passive rock bogie suspensions. This explorer robot can go through various fields with different characteristics. The documentation image will be processed on Digital Image Processing which will facilitate observation. The microcontroller used in this robot is Arduino Mega. The camera used is the IP Camera on a mobile phone using the IP Webcam application and Configure IP Adapter and LabVIEW Vision as a GUI (Graphical Unit Interface) and image capture controls. As a controller, a wireless joystick is used. Digital Image Processing used is Extract Single Color, Threshold Image, Edge Detection and RGB Gain. Based on testing, image processing using Digital Image Processing can work as expected. Robots can pass various terrain characteristics, namely light rocks, low grass, uneven terrain and rising with a maximum height of 5 cm. Testing controls using a wireless joystick can be done with a maximum distance of 11 meters. Overall, the Bogie Robot Rover can be used as a media for exploration that aims at research and documentation on terrain with different characteristics using wireless joystick controls.
