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 modelbased 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.
