Development of a Remote Controlled Mobile Robot for Toy Application Using RF Module in PIC Microcontroller

Abstract

Designed, developed and presented in this paper is a remote controlled mobile robot for toy application using RF module in PIC microcontroller. The goal of this study is to provide a reliable way of communication over a Wi-Fi network for mobile robot using Radio Frequency (RF) wireless communication module. The proponents make use of model-based task allocation method. This effective task allocation method is made possible thru central commanding computer, which realizes reliable operation for identified tasks. The proponents built a mobile robot, with capability of responding to three simple movements: forward, turn left and turn right. The proponents make use of PIC microcontroller as its control unit and it was programmed using C++. The mobile robot will communicate with a central commanding server, which is to be controlled over RF wireless communication. Through a local area network, the computer will send the command movements to the mobile robot using RF module.
