I. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays smart phones are becoming more powerful with Arduino Clock speed 16MHz
reinforced processors, larger storage capacities, richer
entertainment function and more communication methods. Operating voltage 5v
Bluetooth is mainly used for data exchange; add new features Analog input pins 6
to smart phones [2]. A smart phone is a mobile phone built on
a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing DC current per i/o 40ma
ability and connectivity than a feature phone. Smart phones are pin
more affordable and efficient hand held devices which can be
used to support collaborative activities in a community [1]. Bluetooth frequency 2.4GHz
power 3.3-5v
There are many mechanism and controllers that can control a
robot and other remote controlled devices Baud rate 9600

I. NECESSITY OF WORK RF transmit power Up to 4dbm

Our system aims to achieve the target to design a system that Wireless A/V Scan frequency EIA 60Hz

III. SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM AND
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1 Block Diagram
• The block diagram of project is shown in figure 5.
• In this block diagram an Arduino Uno microcontroller,
L293D motor driver circuit, HC-05 Bluetooth module,
DC motors, android mobile, buzzer, wireless camera,
radio AV receiver, laptop, lights, LEDs and 9V-12V
power supply is used.
• 9V power supply is made compatible for
microcontroller and Bluetooth module by connecting
the battery to Lm7805 which will convert it to 5V
supply. While the camera and receiver requires 9V
power supply directly.
• An Android smartphone will act as remote controlled
device for movement of the robot.
• The Bluetooth module will act as an interface between
smart phone and microcontroller.
• We will be using HC-05 Bluetooth module for the
system, which can be used as either master or slave.
HC-05 is used as master when it is sending status of
sensor to mobile and as a slave when receiving
instructions from the mobile.
• Bluetooth module will give the commands given by
smartphone to the microcontroller.
• Arduino Uno will act as the brain of the robot. The
robot movement will be decided by the
microcontroller. The microcontroller will be
programmed with the help of the software Arduino
Genuino software in avr-g++ language.
• Next step is to burn the program in the microcontroller.
This work is done using the same Arduino Genuino
software.
• The smart phone is connected with the HC-05 via
Bluetooth by entering a security password.
• After the two devices are connected commands are
sent to Bluetooth module and it forwards to Arduino
Uno microcontroller.
• The robot responds to the received commands
according to the code inside it.
• The wireless A/V camera is mounted on the robot. It
can record video, click images provide constant video
on the laptop via radio AV receiver.
• At the same time, sensors are continuously
transmitting their status to mobile. As soon as sensor
detects an obstacle in either direction it sends
‘Obstacle sensed’ status to mobile and at the same time
the robot moves in opposite direction without any
command received by the mobile.
• When sensor detects an obstacle buzzer alerts the user
and LED connected with sensor also turns ON.
• In the night, the camera can see the images using the
lights installed in front part of the robot. The lights are
controlled using the android mobile.
• Data set for keys in android app:
1. ‘f’- Forward
2. ‘l’- Left
3. ‘r’- Right
4. ‘b’- Backward
5. ‘s’- Stop
6. ‘g’- Lights ON
7. ‘n’- Lights OFF

cheap and easily available. For this purpose the android mobile
user has to install a designed application on her/his mobile. User
can use several commands like move reverse, forward, move
left, move right using these commands which are given from
the Android mobile.
The proposed system also shows that how a robot can be used
for spying purpose. For this purpose wireless camera has been
used through which we can see, click photos and record videos
on the laptop.
It has proven to allow for meaningful two-way communication
between the Android phone and the robot which would allow a
non-expert to interact with and adjust the functionality of a
system which uses Arduino Uno.
The use of sensors also helps the robot to act without any
command received. Once the obstacle is sensed it will
automatically move into opposite direction.
In this spirit, it is hoped that the current activity will lead to
further enhancements. For example:
GSM can be used in place of Bluetooth to increase the range of
communication.
GPS can also be interfaced with the GSM to know the location
of the robot in a case the camera got damaged or stops working.
