Robotech: Robot Controlled By Android Smartphone Using Msp430.

Abstract: The android application has been used for various purposes still now. But, right now here, we are going to use the android application to control the robot using MSP430 microcontroller. The vehicle is designed to be driven by the smartphone with some proper design of control circuit mounted on the vehicle. By the audio-visual feedback signals, the real-time scenario from the detecting area can be shown on the screen of the smartphone which provides the information of the detected environment to guide the robot. Our mobile robot system uses scale-invariant visual landmarks to localize itself and build a 3D map of the environment simultaneously. This robot can perform the impossible actions that a human being cannot do. This robot is completely wireless (i.,e) completely controlled using android phone.

Specification

I. INTRODUCTION

This system requires the smart phone from the user to control the robot . lt uses Gyro sensor for mobility. The vehicle is designed to be driven by the Smartphone with some proper design of control circuit mounted on the vehicle. This robot can perform the impossible actions that a humanbeing cannot do.

II.RELATED WORK

A Smartphone control robot through Bluetooth is going towards mobiles and robotics concern that mobile control robots and' concerns in a communication technology that connect mobile with robot. It describes how to control a robot using mobile through Bluetooth communication, some features about Bluetooth Technology and components of mobiles and robotic controls [1].

Development of Communication Model for Social Robots based on Mobile Service is a interactive social agent platform which examines anthropomorphic robot features in the mobile phone usage context. People may use different kinds of robots for various purposes. In order to explore new expressive modalities, we investigate Robotic User Interface (RUI) as an alternate interaction medium. CALLY and CALLO are the robots which are functionally designed. These robots are built on a mobile phone technology. The robotic interface is physically combine with phone device and controlled by their respective applications[2].

Slam on smartphone was designed and built on a self-mapping system. This system is generally based on iRobot create. During the exploration, this system Computational ':' Principles of Mobile Robots is a nuiltidisciplinary field involves both Computer science and Engineering. Addressing the design of automated system, it lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational vision and robotics [4].„

UI.ROBOT AS A PLATFORM MOBILE SERVICES-

Bluetooth communication, Wi- Fitethering and portable hotspot, Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS). First we classify characteristics of mobile phones based on how a mobile phone works with a user in existing services [6],

The simplest relationship between a mobile phone and a user is found Our social robot is functionally designed on the basis of mobile phone context rather than "biologically inspired" [5]. In order to find the considerations design for our bi-directional communication model, the current mobile phone communication model has to be examined

AFTERACTIONS COMMUNICATION

There are many types of interactions in mobile phones like collects the environment data using ultrasonic sensor. After the exploration, a map of surrounding environment will be generated [3|.

when we see a phone as a static tool that is not connected to a network.

B.MOBILE PHONE DEVICE AS A ROBOT PLATFORM

A mobile phone provides robot researchers with a variety of features for developing and evaluating new robot capabilities [7]. Besides a wide range of characteristics of its usage context, the technological capabilities of mobile devices are becoming more feasible for robot research [8]. Many phone devices have a camera, a far distance microphone, a loud speaker, and a touch screen display, which can allow a robot to communicate with a human user. Embedded sensors such as the accelerometer. the Infra Red light detector, and the GPS module enable a robot to perceive its environment. Tele-operation comes available by using wireless networks like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. On the lop of these technical components, a smart phone device has computing power and open-development environments on which researchers can develop robot intelligence. A robot

DEVELOPMENT

We have developed a social robot in which it consist of wheels for a robotic movement and a Robotic arm for pick and place purposes. The Robotic arm consists of servo motors for arm movement and for wrist to pick and place. Early prototypes were developed on Java™mobile edition 2 (J2ME) to show robots look and feel and general ideas of possible future applications. Generally phone native services are not allowed with J2ME, thus the main software was developed on PC that communicated with the phone via TCP/IP socket. But right now here we are IV.OVREV1EW OF SYSTEM

Generally phone native services are not allowed with J2ME, thus the main software was developed on PC that communicated with the phone via TCP/IP socket. But right now here we are application can control parameters of test attributes by using mobile phone's J Application Programming Interface (API) and can access device resources such as hardware features, file system and user data (e.g. contact list).Many cell phone manufacturers provide developers vvithoperating systems and APIs, but openness and use policy vary.

going to control the Robot on android phone using android OS. So, we need not to create any program on it. These Robot structure consists of another two servo motors for wheel alignment and movement -like the normal Robot structure. The micro-controller used here is Texas Instrument MSP430. The program has been created and developed on the controller for the command receives through Android phone. The android phone consists of Bluetooth device and the Robot structure consists of Bluetooth module. These two Bluetooth devices have to be paired for the communication between the Robot and Android phone [9]. The command is given through Android phone and the Robot will move as per the required command given by the user.

V.CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

The experiment has integrated a high performance Smartphone with robotics and uti I ized the Bluetooth technology as a fast, secure and reliable "connection between them. By this experiment it found that it is possible to control any hardware via the same hierarchy that mentioned. In future it is possible to add Wi-Fi to the robot to make it possible to localize it and also to increase the operating range of the robot.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

which many functions are complicated into a single controller board. This MSP430 is
an advanced micro-controller.

sending and receiving purposes. But, right here at the robot, we are going to use the
Bluetooth device for. receiving purpose only.. The Bluetooth at the android phone is
used for transmitting the commands.

3 • The claim that we use servo motor control circuit, which is used to control the servo
motors. There are two servo motors used for the movement of the robot arm, which is
controlled by this circuit. J-f
