Design and Simulation of Mobile Robotic Arm Controller Using Microcontroller and Cell Phone

Abstract

The objectives of design this robot is simply to help the humans in the future for security purpose. In the present scenario, there are many recent developments of robotics and communication on a large scale. The methodology used in this research is Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) and PIC microcontroller. Robotic arm was controlled by a cell phone and it can be communicate on a large scale over a large distance even from different cities. Furthermore there are number of advantages as well as important features such as accuracy when receiving transmitted signals from cell phone and movement in all directions. This robot can also be used to reach the places where humans cannot reach such as small tunnels, dangerous places and also can be used to transport of hazardous material combustible etc. This is the way in which the robot can be used in different fields as well as for research purpose by further manipulation in programming and it can be modified accordingly. Finally the simulation results obtained were acceptable using Mikroc compiler and Proteus simulation program.
