In recent decades, remote-controlled vehicles (ROVs) have attracted significant attention because of their potential applications in healthcare, medicine, agriculture, and civilian information. In this article, we investigate the development of low-cost mobile robots equipped with a global positioning system (GPS). GPS-assisted robot is used to provide geographical information and navigation for vehicle control via radiofrequency (RF) long-range (LoRa) wave communication signals. Micro-processing units, including a GPS U-blox NEO M8N integrated antenna, an RF LoRa circuit, and moving actuators, are deployed. Additionally, the U-center 18.06 software acts as a monitoring station. Outdoor experiments proved our design performed well, with reduced latency errors and increased location accuracy.
