Abstract
The main goal of technology these days is to make life as easy as possible and keep people away from danger, that's why robots become more and more advanced by the time. So, VR Robot Tank project aims to achieve that goal by building a robot that can be fully controlled wirelessly.
This robot built on top of a tank chassis that runs by two DC motors, controlled wirelessly by a remote controller (Joy Stick), mounted on the top of it two cameras to achieve a 3D vision, that broadcast what the robot sees to an android application on a mobile phone via Raspberry Pi, and the mobile mainly will be fixed in front of the user's eyes by a VR headset, that takes an advantage of the movements of user's head to control the direction of the camera by two servo motors using the sensors of the mobile phone.
VR Robot Tank has many uses in almost all fields, from serving customers in a restaurant to remotely spying purposes, also it can be used in dangerous environments to do a lot of things instead of humans to keep their safety.
