The project is designed to
develop a fire fighting robot using android application device for remote
operation. The robotic vehicle is loaded with water tanker and a pump which is
controlled over wireless communication to throw water. An 8051 series of
microcontroller is used for the desired operation.
At the transmitting end using
android application device, commands are sent to the receiver to control the
movement of the robot either to move forward, backward and left or right etc.
At the receiving end three motors are interfaced to the microcontroller where
two of them are used for the movement of the vehicle and the remaining one to
position the arm of the robot.
Remote operation is achieved by
any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User
Interface) based touch screen operation. The android application device
transmitter acts as a remote control that has the advantage of adequate range,
while the receiver have Bluetooth device fed to the microcontroller to drive DC
motors via motor driver IC for necessary work.
A water tank along with water
pump is mounted on the robot body and its operation is carried out from the
microcontroller output through appropriate signal from the transmitting end.
The whole operation is controlled by an 8051 series microcontroller. A motor
driver IC is interfaced to the microcontroller through which the controller
drives the motors. Further the project can be enhanced by interfacing it with a
wireless camera so that the person controlling it can view operation of the
robot remotely on a screen.
