Abstract
For many people robot is a machine that imitates a human—like the androids in Star Wars,
Terminator and Star Trek: The Next Generation. However much these robots capture our
imagination, such robots still only inhabit Science Fiction. People still haven't been able to give a
robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world.
The type of robots that you will encounter most frequently are robots that do work that is too
dangerous, boring, onerous, or just plain nasty. Most of the robots in the world are of this type.
They can be found in auto, medical, manufacturing and space industries. In fact, there are over a
million of these types of robots working for us today.
This robot is controlled by a RF r emote. This can be moved forward and reverse direction using
geared motors of 60RPM. Also this robot can take sharp turnings towards left and right
directions. This project uses PIC18F452 as its controller. Simultaneously the images
around the robot will be transmitted to remote place. User can monitor the images and metal
detection alarms on Television.
The RF modules used here are STT-433 MHz Transmitter, STR-433 MHz Receiver, PT2262 RF
Encoder and PT2272 RF Decoder. The three switches are interfaced to the RF transmitter
through RF Encoder. The encoder continuously reads the status of the switches, passes the data
to the RF transmitter and the transmitter transmits the data.
This project uses 9V battery. This project is much useful for detection and surveillance
applications.
