V. HARDWARE DESIGN

A. AT Mega Microcontroller
Microcontroller AT Mega has AT Mega-8, AT Mega-16,
AT Mega- 88, AT Mega- 32, AT Mega-64 and AT Mega-32a.
Microcontroller used here is AT mega-8 it has three ports.
Main core board has the AT mega-8 micro controller and
motor driving IC for the control of two motors. With the help
of these two motors the robot can be moved in all the four
directions. The signals given by the micro controller to the
motor driving IC is in digital form. For 00 it will give forward
move, for 11 it will give backward movement, for 10 it will
give left movement, for 01 it will give right movement. Board
has triggering circuit as inbuilt circuit.

B. Sensing devices
In sensing section the sensors such as ultrasonic sensor will
sense the distance of an object present in its path. Humidity
sensor senses the humidity around the robot. The sensed

through Zigbee transmission. The distance from the robot and
the object is received and shown in the LCD display.

C. Camera visuals
Visuals around the robot are captured and visual is
converted to signals and is sent to the receiver through
wireless medium and visuals can be seen in the display. In the
display the person who is sensing can know about the
surroundings of the robot continuously.

IV. WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM

The charging system is carried by using the wireless

transmission. The charging system has a rechargeable battery
with parallel connection to all the modules. Battery is charged
with the help of receiver coil. Robot has the receiver coil 3. Model Robot

and we can place the robot near the charging station to

recharge the battery in the roboot. With that charge we can use
for future movements it will save the cost required for the
battery.
