Mobile robots surface exploration are being more used everyday in the world.This application is growing to scientific research areas about environment natural aspects and also to weather study applications.However, the way of localization of these robots and the reception of these informations are still a problem to be solved for non-structured environments.On this present project an autonomous mobile robot was desenvolved for meteorological measurements from a Radio Controled Car.So, the first alteration done was the adaptation of the mechanical structure to different kinds of grounds.After that was established a wireless communication between the mobile and a fix base where tha data obtained can be visualized on a screen.In turn, a tire with amphibious characteristics was elabored on SolidWorks software and the Sethi 3D printer.Also, EPS material was utilized for the vehicle buoyancy.The wireless communication was done between two Xbee PRO S1 and the supervisory system was desenvolved on LabView platform where the GPS SIM39EA was used for the georeferencing.With that, the physical assembly for traction of the robot, navigability and capability of skip obstacles in front of it were tested.The data were colected by the vehicle through the sensors DHT11, BMP180 and through the GPS and were trasmited via xbee to the base where they were visualized on a screen by the user..
