This paper presents an autonomous device with the ability to reach a destination position, detect its environment and to multifunction. During recent years, rises in natural disasters and armed conflicts have increased the demand for autonomous devices. We propose a concept of two such devices with the ability to comfortably and remotely control such devices and even with an autonomous control in remote areas inside or outside the buildings. The localization by WiFi is used to locate a position where the GPS signal is not strong enough. The ability to locate a mobile device by a wireless network is a well known possibility. The WiFi signal is not strong enough everywhere. The combination of the odometer method with other sensors is used in those places.
