Computer Controlled Rc Car

Computer Controlled Rc Car
Computer-controlled cars are mini-robots that can be controlled with or without wires using our computer's input devices.

Now, the question arises

Why do we need computer-controlled cars?

We need a computer because tasks which computers can perform can't be done by the robot itself. To perform these tasks, we transfer data from robot to computer and perform processing on the computer and accordingly transfer instructions back to the robot. Using this mechanism we can analyze images and data or even do video recording.

How it's possible?

Suppose, our car has a camera installed and if it can relay that camera recording to our computer, the computer can store that video data into our computer hard disk or by using complex algorithms can find out whether there is any in front obstacle or not. Not only that, with the help of relaying data our computer can take decisions for our robot and control it remotely.
