Design and fabrication of holonomic motion robot using DTMF control tones

Abstract

In this paper, a holonomic motion robot is proposed that can move in any direction on a plain surface which can be controlled by using a GSM or CDMA mobile phone where the medium of communication is DTMF tones. The paper is about the holonomic motion robot that can revolutionize the transport system of the robots and the way we operate it by a small embedded system device. The robot is an Omni-directional robot which can be manoeuvred by a cell phone and can be used as a compact, quiet, mobile, and durable transport vehicle in cramped environments and in loading and unloading stations which is the main intention of the paper. The main focus was laid on the type of movement the robot makes on the spot and its control using a cell phone.
