Cell Phone Controlled Robot using 8051 Microcontroller

In this project we are going to build a cell phone controlled robot using 8051 microcontroller. Cell phone controlled robot runs over mobile DTMF technology. DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. There are some frequencies that we use to create DTMF tones. In simple words by adding or mixing two or more frequencies we generate DTMF tone. These frequencies are given below:

DTMF Frequency Group

In given figure we can see two groups of different frequencies. When one upper and one lower frequencies mix together then a tone is created which is called Dual Tone Multiple Frequency.

Working of Cell Phone Controlled Robot

We can divide the complete cell phone controlled robot into different sections, which are shown in the below figure.

Block Diagram for Cell phone controlled robot

Remote Section: This section’s main component is DTMF. Here we get a tone from the cellphone by using aux wire to DTMF Decoder IC namely HT8870 which decodes the tone into digital signal of 4bit.

Control Section: 8051 is used for controlling the complete process of this mobile phone controlled robot. 8051 reads commands sent by DTMF Decoder and compare with defined code or pattern. If commands match, the microcontroller sends respective command to driver section.

Driver Section: Driver section consists motor driver and two DC motors. Motor driver is used for driving motors because microcontroller does not supply enough voltage and current to motor. So we add a motor driver circuit to get enough voltage and current for motor. By collecting commands from 8051, motor driver drive motor according to commands.

Circuit Diagram and Explanation

Cell Phone Controlled Robot Circuit Diagram

Circuit Diagram of Cell Phone Controlled Robot is very similar with our other robotics projects like PC Controlled Robot, Line Follower, Gesture Controlled Robot, etc. Here one motor driver is connected to 8051 microcontroller for driving robot. Motor driver’s input pin 2, 7, 10 and 15 are connected at 8051’s pin number P2.6, P2.3, P2.0 and P2.7 respectively. Here we have used two DC motors to drive robot in which one motor is connected at output pin of motor driver 3 and 6 and another motor is connected at 11 and 14. A 9 volt Battery is also used to power the motor driver for driving motors. A DTMF decoder is added with this circuit to fulfil our aim to control the robot with cell phone, and this decoder is plugged into a mobile phone using an aux wire for receiving command or DTMF Tone. DTMF decoder pins D0-D3 are connected with 8051’s pin number P0.0, P0.1, P0.2, P0.3 through NOT gate IC namely 7404. So 8051 will get inverted input from DTMF decoder like if we will press button ‘5’ from mobile keypad the output of DTMF decoder will be 0010 but 8051 will get 1101. Two 9 Volt batteries are used to power the circuit in which one is used for power the motors, connected at motor driver IC pin number 8, and other battery is connected to power the remaining circuit.

Cell phone controlled robot run by some commands that are send via mobile phone. We are here using DTMF function of mobile phone. Here we have used the mobile phone to show working of project. One is user mobile phone that we will call ‘remote phone’ and second one that are connected with Robot’s circuit using aux wire. This mobile phone we will call ‘Receiver Phone’.   

First we make a call by using remote phone to receiver phone and then attend the call by manually or automatic answer mode. Now here is how this robot is controlled by cell phone:

When we presses ‘2’ by remote phone, robot start to moving forward and moving continues forward until next command comes.

Moving forward DTMF Controlled Robot

When we presses ‘8’ by remote phone, robot change his state and start moving in backward direction until other command comes.

Moving Backward the DTMF Controlled Robot

When we press ‘4’, Robot get turn left till next command exicuted.

Turning left to DTMF controlled robot

When we press ‘6’, robot turned to right.

turning right to dtmf controlled robot

And for stopping robot we pass‘5’.

stop dtmf controlled robot

I noticed that the c program here says that Pin 7 or the input 2 of L293D motor driver should be connected to Port 2.3 or pin 24 of the microcontroller but In the given circuit it seems to be connected to Port 2.1 or pin 22 of the microcontroller.Please correct this fault as soon as possible.
Thanks.
