Well you don't give any idea as to how big the robot needs to be?, which will obviously have a massive effect on the size of motor required. But you could start by looking at radio control car motors, they are powerful and reliable.
 
the vehicle is not very big just big enough to carry a small GPS. but it will be tested outdoors. thinking of using a 12v dc motor but i need a controller thatcan control both the speed and direction

It's usually done with an H-Bridge and PWM.
 
your robot is very good. So I want to ask you some question

a) What microcontroller did you use for controlling your robot ?
b) What programming language did you write by ?
