ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We feel profound pleasure in bringing out this
projects report for which we have to go from pillar to post to
make it a reality. This project work reflects contributions of
many people with whom we had long discussions and
without which it would not have been possible. We must
first of all, express our heartiest gratitude to respected Prof.
Pravin Matte (Dept. of E&TC) for providing us all guidance
to complete project.
It would be unfair if we do not mention the
invaluable contribution and timely co-operation extended to
us by staff member of our department. And especially we can
never forget the most worthy advices given by Col. Vijay
Joshi (H.O.D., Dept of E&TC), that would help us the entire
lifetime.
Last but not the least we express our sincere
thanks to the institute G.H.R.C.E.M., Wagholi, Pune for
providing such a platform for implementing the ideas in our
mind.

PROJECT REPORT

INTRODUCTION :

Robotics is part of Todays communication. In

todays world ROBOTICS is fast growing and interesting field. It
is simplest way for latest technology modification. Now a days
communication is part of advancement of technology, so we
decided to work on ROBOTICS field, and design something
which will make human life simpler in day today aspect. Thus
we are supporting this cause.
This project is basic stage of any automatic robot.
This ROBOT has sufficient intelligence to cover the maximum
area of provided space. It has a infrared sensor which are used
to sense the obstacles coming in between the path of ROBOT. It
will move in a particular direction and avoid the obstacle which
is coming in its path.
We have used two D.C motors to give motion to
the ROBOT. The construction of the ROBOT circuit is easy and
small .The electronics parts used in the ROBOT circuits are
easily available and cheap too.

PROJECT REPORT

Scope of the project :

The project uses c P89V51RD2 as the controlling

element. It uses IR (Infra Red) sensors and two IR transmitting
circuitry. When the obstacle comes in path of robot IR beam is
reflected from the obstacle then sensor gives zero voltage to
c. This zero voltage is detected then c decides to avoid the
obstacle by taking left or right turn. If the sensor gives +5v to c
that means there is no obstacle present in it path so it goes
straight until any obstacle is detected.
The two IR transmitter circuits are fitted on front and
left side of robot. The two IR sensors are placed near to
transmitters IR LEDs. The connections can be given from main
circuit to sensors using simple twisted pair cables.
Two motors namely right motor and left motor are
connected to driver IC (L293D). L293D is interface with c.
Micro-controller sends logic 0 & logic 1 as per the
programming to driver IC which moves motors forward or
reverse direction.

PROJECT REPORT

Let us take the overview of each block one by one.

1. IR Transmitter & Receiver
The IR Transmitter block mainly used to
generate IR signal. It uses timer IC555 in astable
multivibrator mode to generate square wave which have
continuous pulses of 50% duty cycle of frequency 38
KHz. This transmitter is so arranged that the IR rays are
focused on the sensor.
IR sensor (TSOP 1738) which gives normally
5v at output of it. After receiving infrared light at output
of sensor we get 0v.
2. Microcontroller
This is the most important block of the
system. Microcontroller is the decision making logical
device which has its own memory, I/O ports, CPU and
Clock circuit embedded on a single chip.
3. Driver
L293D is used as driver IC. Motors are connected to
this IC. According to program in c it drives the left and
right motor.

PROBLEMS FACED :

Although the concept & design of the project

seemed perfect, there were some problems faced while
actual implementation:

1) Generation of exact 38Khz Frequency from IC 555 at

Transmitter circuit.
Solution : Use variable resistor pot in astable multivibrator.
Connect IC 555s output pin to C.R.O. & measure frequency
pulses generated by IC 555.By varying the resistor pot we
can adjust the frequency of output.

2) Availability of Burner:
Solution:as burner kit is not easily available, so we have design
& implement hardware for burn the IC

PROJECT REPORT

ELECTRICAL DESIGN:Components are properly mount on respective position. This

include wiring and layout. The connection are given such that two ICs
i.e. 89V51RD2 & L293D are interface. To L293D we connect two motors
namely left motor & right motor.
We implement transmitter circuit separately & gives power
supply independentely. For power supply we use chargeable DC battery
which having rating of 6V & 1.3A.Output pin of sensor(TSOP 1738) is
connected to micro-controllers pin.

MECHANICAL DESIGN:-

It include front panel which is given with ball caster wheel

which is fixed. Back panel is provided with circular wheel with DC motor
of 12v and 100 rpm with suitable clip pin for fixing the tyre. All the
assembly is fixed on base. All assembly mounted on single base.

ALGORITHM-:

Page 19

OBSTACLE AVOIDING ROBOT

PROJECT REPORT

1) Start
2) Initialize the input port & output port. Set the bit of port pin 1.0
3) Read data from port 1.
4) Check the bit on pin P1.0.
5) If bit is present move motors in forward direction.
Else go to step 6.
6) If bit is not present on pin P1.0, then stop right motor & move left
motor in forward direction until we get bit on pin p1.0.
7) Again go to step 3.
8) Stop.

A) HARDWARE
B) SOFTWARE

A) Hardware:-

1. Continuity test:First of all we checked the PCB that all the tracks are as per the
design of PCB and showing continuity with the help of multimeter and
PCB layout.

2. Short circuit test:Then we checked the PCB for any unwanted short circuits with
the help of multimeter and PCB layout.

3. Soldering:In the next step, we soldered the required components.and then

checked that there are no any unwanted shorts occurred due to
soldering without putting IC's and keeping power supply off.

4. Power supply test:Page 21

OBSTACLE AVOIDING ROBOT

PROJECT REPORT

In the next step, we put power supply on and checked whether

required voltage is appearing at the required voltage is appearing at the
required points i.e.+Vcc and GND at the respective points.we took care
of not connecting IC's in the circuit while performing this test.

5. Microcontroller test:For testing the microcontroller, we wrote the square wave

generation program for generating square wave on each port pin.Then
we fed the program in microcontroller and checked the output with the
help of CRO by connecting the microcontroller in the circuit. We took
care of not connecting any other IC in the circuit.

PROJECT REPORT

SOFTWARES USED :
1. DipTrace
ROLE IN THE DESIGN:
DipTrace 1.50 proved to be a very handy &
easy-to-use tool for the PCB layout process. Many of its
features were utilized leading to an accurate & efficient
design. It has Design Error Check & Electrical Rule Check
tools which proved to be helpful in the design. It is loaded
with a huge component list that is categorized in various
libraries for giving simplicity. Placement of components is
also very easy & they can be rotated in 360 to customize
the design.

2. Vision Keil

ROLE IN THE DESIGN:

Vision Keil provides IDE for 8051
programming & is very easy to use. When starting a new
project, simply select the microcontroller you use from the
Device Database and the Vision IDE sets all Compiler,
Assembler, Linker, and Memory options. Its device database
is large which supports many ICs of the 8051 family. A HEX
file can be created with the help of Keil which is required for
burning onto chip. It has a powerful debugging tool which
detects most of the errors in the program.

3. FlashMagic

ROLE IN THE DESIGN:

Flash Magic is a PC tool for programming flash

based microcontrollers from NXP using a serial or Ethernet
protocol while in the target hardware. It has some excellent
features like changeable baud rate, erase all flash before
programming, setting security bits etc. The HEX file created
with the help of keil was selected through it for programming
the microcontroller.

APPLICATIONS :
1) This logic has been specially designed for vaccum
cleaner. By using heavy rating motors ,strong
mechanical structure and using highly sensitive
obstacle sensors, it efficiently work as vaccum cleaner.
2) Just by making small changes in software this system
can be used for avoiding concealed paths. This robot
can effectively sense the obstacles and find out correct
path.
3) With proper programming we can use it as a weight
lifter.
4) In Mines.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS & FUTURE SCOPE :

1. Adding a Camera:

If the current project is interfaced with a

camera (e.g. a Webcam) robot can be driven beyond line-ofsight & range becomes practically unlimited as networks
have a very large range.
2. Use as a fire fighting robot :

By adding temperature sensor, water tank and

making some changes in programming we can use this robot as
fire fighting robot.
