A Novel approach to building and controlling a four-wheel, four-drive, and four-steering (4W4D4S) robotic system is presented in this research. This system allows for enhanced mobility and navigation by allowing each wheel to spin up to 180 degrees independently. The Ubuntu command prompt is used to remotely operate the system, making it accessible and controllable from virtually anywhere with network connectivity. The project addresses crucial needs for real-time navigation and multi-terrain adaptability in autonomous systems via using Linux-based control systems for reliability as well as versatility in command execution. Effective control responsiveness is demonstrated by experimental results, indicating the system's potential for use in complicated terrains, logistics, and agriculture. Improved operational agility provided by the proposed 4W4D4S system provides the way for better autonomous mobility solutions in various environments. The wheels of the bot is capable of moving zero degree, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees. If precision is needed then it also capable of moving any angle between 0-180 degrees. The camera that is a vision system integrated into the controller, makes it possible to communicate through the vision system. The camera vision is available with in the command prompt whenever node is run in the terminal.
