MOBILE BASED ROBOT

The advent of new high-speed technology and the growing computer capacity provided realistic opportunity for new robot controls and realization of new methods of control theory. This technical improvement together with the need for high performance robots created faster, more accurate and more intelligent robots using new robots control devices, new drives and advanced control algorithms. This project describes a new economical solution of robot control systems. The presented robot control system can be used for different sophisticated robot applications. The control system consists of a GSM modem, a microcontroller that collects data from the modem and controls the robot. Designing, building, programming and testing a robot is a combination of physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, structural engineering, mathematics and computing. In some cases biology, medicine, chemistry might also be involved. A study of robotics means that students are actively engaged with all of these disciplines in a deeply problem-posing problem-solving environment. A complete solution of a robot control solution is presented in this project. The robot is fully controlled by the microcontroller and the information received by the modem is received by the microcontroller. The modem provides the communication interface. It transports device protocols transparently over the network through a serial interface. The GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. A wireless modem behaves like a dial-up modem. The main difference between them is that a dial-up modem sends and receives data through a fixed telephone line while a wireless modem sends and receives data through radio waves. Thus, in order to control the robot using GSM, the user has to send the predefined messages to the modem. When the modem receives these predefined messages, it intimates the

same to the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the information from the modem acts in accordance to the message, making it a highly automated application.

In the project the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end called Dual Tone Multiple frequency (DTMF) tone. The robot receives these tones with help of phone stacked in the robot. The received tone is processed by the microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder ic cm8870 . This ic sends a signals to the the motor driver ic l293d which derives the motor forward, reverseetc. Project is built using AVR microcontroller the ATmega16.

Project is a very simple and a good starter for robotics lover. Project also comes with complete project reportand PCB layout which makes it even more easier for you to quickly start working. Here is a working sample of this project, I'm sure you'll be impressed with this simple idea
