- 2. Introduction • ZigBee controlled robot using Arduino UNO is used to control the movements of robot using a switch pad array interfaced to the ZigBee transmitter module. • This ZigBee module is then interfaced into an Arduino UNO. These inputs are transmited which is received by the ZigBee receiver interfaced into Arduino UNO. • The micro-controller then takes appropriate action for controlling the movements of the robotic wheels.
- 4. Existing system ● RF based control the Robot ● High Energy loss ● One way only possible to communicate
- 5. Proposed System ● In this project the focus is to make a Pc controlled robot by the ZigBee Communication using Laptop/Desktop with the Arduino attached to the car and give it commands or instructions to do specific task like move forward ,move backward ,move right, move left which are transferred to the microcontroller through the program uploaded to the board using Arduino ide.
- 6. Working Principle • According to this project, a Robot is designed which is made to move all the time. We have two sections, transmitting and receiving section. • Transmitting section consists of an Arduino and ZigBee transmitter. This information is transmitted to the receiver section using ZigBee receiver. The ZigBee receiver will receive the data and based on that direction robot is controlled.
- 7. Working Principle: • At the transmitting end data using Arduino, these commands are sent to the receiver to control the movement of the robot either to move forward, backward, left and right etc. • At the receiving end two motors are interfaced to the Arduino. These motors body movement of robot. • The Arduino (via PC) device transmitter acts as a remote control that has the advantage of adequate range, while the receiver end Arduino device is fed to the Arduino to drive DC motors via motor driver IC for necessary work.
- 8. We have programmed the PC controlled robot to run by some commands that are send via serial communication to Arduino from PC. (see programming section below) When we press ‘f’ or ‘F’, robot start to move forward and moving continues until next command is given.
- 9. When we press ‘b’ or ‘B’, robot change his state and start moving in backward direction until any other command is given.
- 10. When we press ‘l” or ‘L’ robot turns to left.
- 11. When we press ‘r” or ‘R’ robot turns to right.
- 12. And for stopping robot we give ‘s’ or ‘S’ command to Arduino.
- 13. Advantages ● Easy to install and low cost. ● Manually operate ● The robot is small in size so can be used for spying. ● With a few additions and modifications, this robot can be used in the borders for detecting and disposing of hidden land mines. ● The robot can be used for reconnaissance or surveillance.
- 14. Disadvantage • Power consumption is very high • Manual process
- 15. Applications ○ Used in Military applications ○ Used in Industrial applications.
