PROJECT SYNOPSIS: SPY ROBOT

SOFTWARES USED:

Embedded C, VB software, Keil demo version with simulator,

Express PCB, Express schematic.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:

The main devices of this project are micro controller, wireless video camera, RF data transmitter and RF
data receiver and a computer or a laptop, also a mechanical vehicle.

Wireless video camera is fixed in this robot and also a micro controller with a RF data receiver and the
motor driver chip L293d is also connected.

The RF data receiver is standard 433mhz type receiver and it can support 4-bit data type. This has a signal
very good sensitivity and used a Holtek decoder chip 12d which has totally 12 address and 4 bit data (that
is totally 16 combinations of data).

This 4 bit combinations are used to control the movement of the robot and also the other movement.

Example:

Data :0001= move left

Data :0010=move right
Data :0100=move back
Data: 1000=move front
Data :0011=head lights on
Data :0111=siren on

Like this any functions can be assigned.

Then the camera with the video and audio transmitter will keep sending the video and audio seen on the
spot.

One other side of the project the device with the computer software controls the vehicle movement. The
computer using the TV tuner robot captures the audio and video transmitted. This is seen on the monitor.
Seeing this one can control the movement of the robot using the arrow key in the keyboard.

The software written in VB in the computer will send the respective signal.

Example: if you press the move front switch the computer will send the forward command to the micro
controller, which is, attached to the RS-232 port of the computer.

This controller will get this and send the data 1000 to the RF transmitter working on 433 Mhz frequencies.
This is received by the robot at a distance and responds as per the command.

Other example:

Imagine there is a bomb inside the building in the ground floor. If any body wants to go inside it will be
too risky .so instead we will send this robot with the video camera and control the movement of the robot
and the video camera using the computer.

Once the device is on the robot video transmitter will send the pictures to the computer and we will be
able to view the image on the computer screen.

Using this video move the robot using arrows keys and find out the bomb. If we want we can also take
the snaps or record the video. We can also move the robot left or right and also at the same the camera
moves left or right.

This will secure every one and also in future we can attach a robot on this robot and also design a
vehicle, which will climb the staircase.
Entire device uses micro controllers and the latest RF technology.

The same system is used in the vehicle sent to explore the mars planet. But only difference is that it is
more complex and also the RF frequencies are using the satellites .now they have sent
One more system to explore the ploto planet.
