This thesis presents the design process and development of a mobile robot and all the necessary software to control it. The goal of the thesis is also to determine, whether a Raspberry Pi computer is a suitable platform to use for robotics related projects. The iOS application provides the ability to guide the robot, watch its video stream and control the angle of its video camera. By using five LED diodes for illumination it is possible to watch the video stream in low light conditions. The mobile application communicates over the network with a program written in Python, that runs on the Raspberry Pi and manages all robot’s functionalities. This work describes the design process of a robot, appropriate hardware and software selection, software development and integration of all needed components into a finished product.
