Fast innovation speed in the hardware and software technologies in the field of
embedded robot systems, it becomes more and more necessary to develop
applications based on methodologies, which take to account the easiness of
future modifications, updates and improvements.
According to these requirements, mobile robot is designed to convey basic
knowledge about the basic block technologies that make up a robot. This
mobile robot can function as autonomous mobile robot as well as wireless
mobile robot.
In autonomous mode with the help of infrared light sensor input robot follows
wooden maze. In wireless mode, robot movement is decided according to the
Dual Tone Multiple Frequencies (DTMF) generated by mobile phone. This
paper also includes interfacing issues of Complex Programmable Logic
Devices (CPLD) with sensors, actuators, power supply & communicating
devices.
The paper is mainly focused on designing flexible mobile robot & various
issues related to interfacing various modules with CPLD.
