ABSTRACT
As in many industrial
applications there are some working
sections in which there is always
hazardous or dangerous situation for
human life such hazardous condition
may cause to loose someone’s life, so to
prevent the contact of human life with
hazardous situations it is need to
implement a system such that this system
can works approximately equal to man
and give satisfactory results. This can be
only done by atomization for Robotics by
which different works can be done in
Workplace and indirectly saves human
life. As the cost of automatic system is
negligible in-front of human life[1,2].
As an example in coal mine there
are various dangerous hazardous
conditions in which there may be some
atmospheric blasts So that the man can
loose his life and he may die also. so to
prevent such a type of hazardous
conditions, We are going to implement
such a system that can give various
information in the form of video, audio
and parameters like temperature
humidity at remote control room and a
operator can take decision regarding
this from control room itself and also
control the system.[1].

INTRODUCTION
Now a days the field of
Electronics widely adopted in industrial
areas with considering this factor, We
decided to make such a system which
can analyze various hazardous
situations in industry. So we have
implemented ‘SMART ROBOT’,
Which is capable for automatic as well
as manual controlling having audio
and video transmission of the situations
around the ‘ROBOT’ to the control
room. This ROBOT will capable for the
detection of obstacles comes in his
coverage area and in addition to that it
will provide wireless transmission of
audio cum video signal on a simple
television set which should only have to
be tuned at that frequency and which
is in control room. The operator not
only can analyze the situations around
‘SMART ROBOT’ on TV receiver but
also can switch ROBOT in manual
mode from automatic by pressing a
single switch by the Remote which is in
control room and ROBOT can be
controlled by operator himself from
control room.[2,3].
There are some other sensors
also mounted on the ROBOT which
can sense the Parameter like
temperature, humidity etc. and

complete report will be
transmitted at the control room to the
operator by which the operator can take
decision to provide solution over the
conditions. The transmission range can
increase or decrease according to need
of application.
SMART ROBOT HAS THREE
OPERATING MODES
1. Automatic
In this mode we are using PIC
16F84 micro-controller which control
moving direction of ROBOT with the
help of IR sensors and driver motors. A
simple Assembly Language program is
used for controlling the ROBOT. The
sensors can sense obstacles within the
range of 50 cms from ROBOT. This IR
sensors operates on 36 KHz frequency
when the reflections of IR rays from
obstacles sensed by sensors, the signals
are generated. And this signals are
given to the input port of the PIC16F84
according to which PIC controller
knows that in which direction ROBOT
should be moves. The corresponding
signals are output to the driver H-
bridge of motor and motor to change
their moving directions according to
program.
WHY PIC 16F84 USED?
PIC16F84 belongs to a class of
8-bit microcontrollers of RISC
architecture. Its general structure is
shown on the following map
representing basic blocks.

Program memory (FLASH)-
for storing a written
program. Since memory made in
FLASH technology can be programmed
and cleared more than once, it makes
this microcontroller suitable for device
development.
EEPROM
data memory that needs to be
saved when there is no supply.
It is usually used for storing important
data that must not be lost if power
supply suddenly stops. For instance,
one such data is an assigned
temperature in temperature regulators.
If during a loss of power supply this
data was lost, we would have to make
the adjustment once again upon return
of supply. Thus our device looses on
self-reliance.
RAM – data memory used by a program
during its execution.
In RAM are stored all inter-results or
temporary data during run-time.
PORTA and PORTB are physical
connections between the
microcontroller and the outside world.
Port A has five, and port B has eight
pins.
FREE-RUN TIMER is an 8-bit register
inside a microcontroller that works
independently of the program. On every
fourth clock of the oscillator it
increments its value until it reaches the
maximum (255), and then it starts
counting over again from zero. As we
know the exact timing between each
 3

two increments of the timer contents,

timer can be used for measuring time
which is very useful with some devices.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT has a START

role of connective element between
other blocks in the microcontroller. It
coordinates the work of other blocks READ PORT OF PIC16F84
and executes the user program.[1,2]

(fig 1) control room, in which operater is
observing audio and video telecast on
TV receiver so in this condition an
operator can control or move ROBOT
directions manually away from
hazards. This can be achieved by
transmitting DTMF frequencies using
FM modulation which get received by
FM receiver mounted on ROBOT.[4].

Applications

FM
1. In Coal Mine
Motor
Switching DTMF Transmitter
Circuit Encoder As in coal mine there has to be
so much of safety, because there much
more hazards to human life working in
coal mine due to blast of gases. So to
H-Bridge L-Motor prevent this we can use SMART
FM DTMF Motor Drive
Receiver
ROBOT which cost is negligible in
Decoder Circuit
R-Motor front of human life and we get safety
solution over this.

(fig 3)
3. Audio visual Transmission
An operator can not go into
hazardous situations to observe the
effect or problems occurs at hazardous
place, So we are transmitting the Audio
Video information from working place
to the control room so that operator can
analyze and provide solutions. The
audio video transmission can be
achieved with the help of Simple RF
modulator and CCTV Camera.[4].
Micro
phone
To see the plans or the conditions in
enemy region, it very dangerous to send
the soldier directly it may a risk to his
life so we can also use SMART ROBOT
for this application so that we can get
audio video information at remote
control room.
CONCLUSION
This system can be applicable
where such hazardous conditions may
occur and that play with Human life
the SMART ROBOT is very applicable
as well suitable in such situations.
