Design and Implementation of a System for Wireless Control of a Robot

Abstract

This article presents the design and implementation of a wireless control system of a robot with help of a computer using LPT interface in conjunction with Arduino + X-bee, which is an electronic device that uses the Zigbee protocol that allows a simple implementation, low power consumption, and allows the robot to be controlled wirelessly, with freedom of movement. In the implementation were used two Arduino with wireless communication using X-bee modules. The first Arduino + X-bee were connected to the computer, from which received signals that were sent by the wireless module to the Arduino X-bee that was in the robot. This last module received and processed signals to control the movement of the robot. The novelty of this work lies in the autonomy of the robot, designed to be incorporated into applications that use mini-robots, which require small size without compromising the freedom of their movement.
