Voice Controlled Robotic Vehicle
This project Voice Controlled Robotic Vehicle helps to control robot through voice commands received via android application. The integration of control unit with Bluetooth device is done to capture and read the voice commands. The robotic vehicle then operates as per the command received via android application. For this 8051 micro-controller is integrated in the system which makes it possible to operate the vehicle via android application.
The controlling device may be any android based Smartphone/tab etc having an android OS. The android controlling system provides a good interactive GUI that makes it easy for the user to control the vehicle. The transmitter uses an android application required for transmitting the data.
The receiver end reads these commands and interprets them into controlling the robotic vehicle.
The android device sends commands to move the vehicle in forward, backward, right and left directions.
After receiving the commands, the microcontroller then operates the motors I order to move the vehicle in four directions. The communication between android device and receiver is sent as serial communication data. The microcontroller program is designed to move the motor through a motor driver IC as per the commands sent by android device.

Soldier Health & Position Tracking System The soldier Health and Position Tracking System allows military to track the current GPS position of soldier and also checks the health status including body temperature and heartbeats of soldier. The System also consists extra feature with the help of that soldier can ask for help manually or send a distress signal to military if he is in need. The GPS modem sends the latitude and longitude position with link pattern with the help of that military can track the current position of the soldier. The system is very helpful for getting health status information of soldier and providing them instant help. The nation’s security is monitored and kept by army, navy and air-force. The important and vital role is of soldiers who sacrifice their life for their country. There are many concerns regarding the safety of the soldier. Soldiers entering the enemy lines often lose their lives due to lack of connectivity, it is very vital fo

Introduction to robotics .............. Part-3 (Automation)

Automated Portable Hammering Machine Hammering is the most widely used industrial as well as construction activity. Hammering or screws, metal sheets, parts etc requires a lot of time and effort. So here we propose an automated hammering system that allows for fully automatic hammering process. This allows for accurate, fast and automated hammering wherever and whenever needed using a 12V battery. The person just needs to insert workpeice and start the hammering machine. This machine can be used for automatic hammering work as and when needed. We here use a dc motor in order to move the hammer. The DC motor consists of a pulley attached to it which is connected to a larger pulley for efficient power transfer and to increase torque. This large pulley is connected to a shaft that has a connecting rod attached to it. This rod is used to achieve lateral motion from the spinning shaft. We now connect the other end of hammer to this connecting rod through a mid swinging arrangement i

Introduction to robotics .............. Part-2

Line Follower Robot Our Line Follower Robot Line followers are one of the most prominent kinds of robots. They have existed for a very long time, however, the technologies used for building them have changed rapidly. Earlier, controller boards the size of bricks were used, but now they have shrunk and become tremendously powerful. Now, technology allows you to build a line follower in just under 10 minutes if you have the parts for it. So enjoy building this quick and easy line follower. Have fun with this DIY hacking tutorial! Required Materials Hardware : 1.       Arduino  / Arduino Clone or make your own  custom Arduino board . 2.       Two continuous rotation servo motors like this:  Continuous rotation servo . 3.       A ball caster:  Ball caster . 4.       An infrared sensor array like this:  Pololu QTR-8A IR sensor array  OR a set of six  IR Leds  and  Detectors . 5.       Resistors:  1K  and  10K . 6.       Two  robot wheels , select wheels after chec
