Design and Implementation of a Mobile (Wireless) Phone Controlled Robot

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2023

In modern technological innovation, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) method are now applied to do our manual tasks. Robots are becoming common in our homes, public places, industries, entertainment, and relaxation centers hence, we need to control and monitor them for easy and suitable usage. In the research, we have not only proposed but developed a robot that can be controlled by mobile phones through which we can call for some emergency situations for the Fire brigade, Law enforcement agencies (Police, Army), National Emergency Management Agency (MENA), Area Guard so on. This mobile phone-controlled robot is powered by a 9V battery for the system circuit. Whenever the user calls the mobile phone, the call is received by autoanswer mode and as the call is ongoing, the user presses a button on his handset the tone that is generated is decoded by the DTMF decoder, and the comm and is passed to the pre-programmed microcontroller. The Microcontroller then processes the command signal which activates the motor driver ICs for motion. This system can also be useful in reconnaissance or surveillance and applicable anywhere the GSM network service is active. The designed system is compactable, robust, and cost affordable.

GSM based advanced robot using android controller

International Journal of Advanced Education and Research, 2017

This paper describes a wireless robot which performs the necessary actions by receiving a set of instructions in the form a DTMF frequency. In this project we can control the robot directions like forward, backward, left and right by sending call from the mobile and also performs operations like metal detection and video camera surveillance. This project mainly consists of 2 sections, one is mobile unit and the other one is robot unit. The GSM modem which is fixed at the robot receives the dtmf frequency sent by the mobile and gives the instructions to the microcontroller to control the robot directions. In this project, we interface 8051 microcontroller with GSM Module. The protocol used for the communication between controller and GSM modem is UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter). This system continuously checks for message to take the decision for controlling the robot.

Mobile Robot System Controlled Through Mobile Communications

Product Engineering, 2005

A relatively new research direction in mobile robotics concerns the communication technology for the control mobile robots in conjunction with other devices or between a team of mobile robots. This paper describes an approach for the remote control of a mobile robot using Bluetooth communication. Aspects regarding Bluetooth technology, architecture and components of the mobile robot developed are presented. Software for Bluetooth communication and a virtual environment in which the operator may create a path for robot are also presented.

CELL PHONE OPERATED ROBOT USING MICROCONTROLLER

Generally wireless controlled robots are used RF circuits which have the drawbacks of limited frequency range, limited working range and limited control. To overcome these drawbacks we go for mobile phone controlled robots it provides robust control and working. RF circuits are used only limited coverage area only but mobile operated robot is used for wide range of area. In this method a mobile phone is call the another phone attached to the robot. Whenever the call is attend the number is pressed by a phone which is used as remote control the tone corresponding to the button is hear. This tone is called as DTMF (Dual-tone multiple frequency).

Cell Phone Controlled Robotic Vehicle

National Conference on Recent Advances in Computer Science and IT (NCRACIT) International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology © 2018 IJSRCSEIT | Volume 4 | Issue 1 | ISSN: 2456-3307, 2018

As wireless control is widely used nowadays because of their wide range of control. The wireless controlled robots use RF circuits, which were run-over by wireless control using mobile network, but both have the drawbacks of limited range & operation. The operation of control using mobile network is limited with the availability of cellular network. This drawback can be removed by replacing cellular signal with satellite signal. This enables the user to control the robot in remote areas too.

An Implementation Of A Gsm Controlled Security Robotic Vehicle

ABSTRACT— Over the years, robotic vehicles used in unmanned rescue missions, security in jewelry stores, military combat, security in bank vaults and many others, make use of wireless technology in controlling the vehicles. The major drawback of these wireless unmanned robots is that they make use of radio frequency (RF) circuits for maneuver and control. Principally, RF circuits suffer from the disadvantageof limited control range. To overcome this challenge, other methods have been implemented which make use of the global system for mobile communication (GSM) network and the dual tone multiple frequency (DTMF) function of a cell phone to control the robotic vehicle. Although this work uses the same principle as the technology of the GSM network, it essentially shows the construction of a circuit using Graphical User Interface (GUI) and GSM modules which send commands to control the movement of the vehicle with the use of a microcontroller. The GUI generates different coded signals with the help of visual basic. These signals are transmitted through the communication (COM) port of the personal computer (PC) to the GSM module interface. These commands are sent wirelessly to another GSM module interfaced with the microcontroller and they control the robot accordingly. As the vehicle moves about the target area, once human presence is detected by the PIR sensor interfaced with the microcontroller, the onboard global positioning system(GPS) module interfaced with the microcontroller sends both the latitude and the longitude information of the detected human presence to the control station via the GSM module to initiate emergency response from the control station. The robotic vehicle was implemented, the PIR sensor detected human presence and sent an SMS containing the latitude and longitude of the location to the control station which was viewed from the Google Map on the GUI application. GUI Commands sent from the remote robot control station were received and the robot moved accordingly.

GSM based Versatile Robotic Vehicle

In the recent past, wireless controlled vehicles had been extensively used in a lot of areas like unmanned rescue missions, military usage for unmanned combat and many others. But the major disadvantage of these wireless unmanned robots is that they typically make use of RF circuits for maneuver and control. Essentially RF circuits suffer from a lot of drawbacks such as limited frequency range i.e. working range, and limited control. To overcome such problems associated with RF control, few papers have been written, describing methods which make use of the GSM network and the DTMF function of a cell phone to control the robotic vehicle. This paper although uses the same principle technology of the GSM network and the DTMF based mobile phone but it essentially shows the construction of a circuit using only 4 bits of wireless data communication to control the motion of the vehicle without the use of any microcontroller. This improvement results in considerable reduction of circuit complexity and of manpower for software development as the circuit built using this system does not require any form of programming. Moreover, practical results obtained showed an appreciable degree of accuracy of the system and friendliness without the use of any microcontroller.
