Abstract :
In this paper it is presented the development of a telecommunications platform application to drive remotely a homing device, it is implemented an `any time-any where´ solution, where any user can access to a graphical interface located in an Internet Network domain where it is possible monitoring the mobile robot´s route. The mobile vehicle design and building is presented according to the integration of a hardware/software application based on ZigBee wireless technology, Global Position System (GPS) and a digital compass. Also the interface allows to drive it easily and watch the mobile robot movement in real time. Finally the results are presented with the data taken in practice.
