- This paper presents the prototype of a wireless controlled mini amphibious vehicle/robot. The vehicle prototype can be controlled remotely via a wireless joystick communication system. The dimension of the mini amphibian vehicle is 45.5 cm length, 28.8 cm width and 16 cm heigth. The ground maneuver is actuated by two power window motors and the on-water maneuver is actuated by a DC brushed motor. The brushed motor is coupled with a propeller, where the thrust directions are steered by a DC servo motor. The performance test results present that the amphibious vehicle can make good maneuvre on ground and on water surface by using a simple control algorithm implemented in a microcontroller, where the control guide signals are sent through the wireless communication system. The power testing presents that, the fully charged 3500mAh LiPO Battery can power up the mini amphibious vehicle to operate for 1.13 hours for on-ground movements and 0.7 hour for on-water surface movements. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 0.28 m/s on ground and 0.2 m/s on water surface.
