Mobile Controlled Robotics

Course Details

This course covers various concepts of mobile communication and microcontroller programming, necessary for the development of a mobile controlled robot DTMF stands for “Dual tone multiple frequencies”. We will be using a dedicated modem/mobile at the receiver module i.e. with the robot itself and send the commands using DTMF tones as per the required actions.

Conventionally, Wireless-controlled robots use radio control, which has the drawbacks of the limited working range, limited frequency range and the limited control. Use of a mobile phone for robotic control can overcome these limitations. Students would develop a robot that can be controlled by calling the mobile phone placed on the Robot and pressing the keys on their mobile phone.

Course objectives

• Design, Develop and Test your own Mobile Based Robot
• Exposure to Human-Machine Interaction technologies
• Understanding the structure and programming of microcontrollers
• Practical experience for a participant with DC motors, microcontrollers, sensors and DTMF
