Objective: The main objective of our project is to develop a robot which can be controlled via a cell phone even

if we are at a very distant place from that robot. Normally the robots come with a very limited range of control; but this model completely eradicates this factor of limited range as we bring in the technology of DTMF. Requirements: Generally our model will comprise of the following specifications: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. A robot(consisting of motors and other mechanical specifications) Motor drivers A DTMF decoder ATMEGA16 microcontroller 2 cell phones(one attached to robot and other for calling Motor drivers

Phases: The model is divided mainly in 2 phases: 1. Robot construction 2. Interfacing the ICs(DTMF decoder, microcontroller and motor driver) on the robot. 3. Burning the code on microcontroller. These phases are discussed below: 1. Robot construction: A mechanical model of the robot is made by using the following: 4 wheels

 A 6V battery 4 geared motors of 6V each 2. Interfacing of ICs on the robot: The following components are used in the circuit: MT8870 DTMF DECODER - 1 ATMEGA 16 microcontroller 1 L293d motor driver IC 1 Cd7004 not gate IC - 1 1n4007 diode - 1 100 k resistances - 2 10 k resistances - 5 330 k resistances - 1 0.47mf capacitors - 1 0.1mf capacitors - 1 22pf capacitors - 4 3.57mhz crystal - 1 12mhz crystal - 1 Push to on switch 1 A handsfree

Working: Once the above 2 phases have been completed, the model looks like this:

In this project the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of the call, if any button is pressed, control corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called dual tone multi frequency tome (DTMF). Robot receives this DTMF tone with the help of phone stacked in the robot. The received tone is processed by the atmega16 microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder MT8870. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone in to its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller, the microcontroller is preprogrammed(in C) to take a decision for any given input and outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the motors for forward or backward

motion or a turn. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote. Advantages: This model is a complete renovation of a wireless robot. Conventionally, Wireless-controlled robots use RF circuits, which have the drawbacks of limited working range, limited frequency range and the limited control. Use of a mobile phone for robotic control can overcome these limitations. It provides the advantage of robust control, working range as large as the coverage area of the service provider, no interference with other controllers and up to twelve controlles.
