ABSTRACT
Robotics is a branch of science that deals with Mechanical, Electrical and Software fields. Robots are
the machines that are used in our day-to-day to life to reduce men power and work accurately without
any distortions. Robots can be classified into two different sections basing upon their skills as
Automated and Manual. Obstacle detector is a Automated robot which itself recognizes the obstacle in
its path and moves in free direction. Robot detects the obstacle by using two IR Sensors placed in front.
The IR sensors are placed on left and right side of the robot through which continuous
Infrared radiation is emitted for detection of obstacles in the path. These IR Sensors are connected to a
controlling element AT89c51 µc. When a obstacle is placed in the path of robot IR beam is reflected to
the sensor from the obstacle. On detecting obstacle in the path sensor sends 0 volts to µc. This 0 voltage
is detected by Microcontroller which avoids the obstacle by taking left or right turn. Similarly if the
sensor sends +5v to Microcontroller, the Microcontroller assumes it as clear path and makes the robot to
move in straight.
Two motors namely right motor and left motor are connected to Motor driver IC (L293D).
L293D is interface with Microcontroller. Microcontroller sends logic 0 & logic 1 as per the
programming to driver IC which makes motors to rotate in clockwise and anticlockwise direction.
Wheels attached to the motors rotate accordingly with the motor shaft causing in the moment of the
robot by wheels. In front portion of the robot a free wheel is attached to move the robot easily in any
direction as per the requirement.
A 12Volts DC battery is attached to the circuit. As the microcontroller and sensors requires only
5v, set of resistors and capacitors are used to supply 5v DC to them. Power Management System is not
maintained in the circuit as the battery can be removed after the usage of robot. So it does not cause any
loss in the power of battery.
This type of robots has multiple applications in various fields. They can be used to know the
strength of the opposite army in defense system. They can be used as floor and wall cleaners. They are
used in automated GPS vehicles to calculate the moment of the vehicle overhead. These robots are easy
to construct and cheaper in cost with long durability.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEPARTMENT
1.1 INTORDUTION:
An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often
with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including
hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer
(PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-user needs. Embedded systems control
many devices in common use today.
Embedded systems are controlled by one or more main processing cores that is typically either a
microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP). The key characteristic is however being dedicated
to handle a particular task, which may require very powerful processors. Since the embedded system is
dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it reducing the size and cost of the product
and increasing the reliability and performance.
1.2 CHARACTERISTICS
1. Embedded systems are designed to do some specific task, rather than be a general-purpose
computer for multiple tasks. Some also have real-time performance constraints that must be met,
for reasons such as safety and usability others may have low or no performance requirements,
allowing the system hardware to be simplified to reduce costs.
2. Embedded systems are not always stand alone devices. Many embedded systems consist of
small, computerized parts within a larger device that serves a more general purpose.
3. The program instructions written for embedded systems are referred to as firmware, and are
stored in read-only memory or Flash memory chips. They run with limited computer hardware
resources: little memory, small or non-existent keyboard and/or screen.
1.3 APPLICATIONS:
Embedded controllers may be found in many different kinds of system and are used for many different
applications. Such as:
● Manufacturing and process control
● Construction industry

7
● Transport
● Buildings and premises
● Domestic service
● Communications
● Office system and mobile equipment
● Medical diagnostics, monitoring and life support
● Testing ,monitoring and diagnostic system
● Banking, finance and commercial

CHAPTER-2
INTRODUCTION TO OBSTACLE AVOIDING ROBOT
Robotics is part of Today's communication. In today’s world ROBOTICS is fast growing and
interesting field. It is simplest way for latest technology modification. Now a day's communication is
part of advancement of technology, so we decided to work on ROBOTICS field, and design something
which will make human life simpler in day today aspect. Thus we are supporting this cause. This
project is basic stage of any automatic robot. This ROBOT has sufficient intelligence to cover the
maximum area of provided space. It has a infrared sensor which are used to sense the obstacles coming
in between the path of ROBOT. It will move in a particular direction and avoid the obstacle which is
coming in its path. We have used two D.C motors to give motion to the ROBOT. The construction of
the ROBOT circuit is easy and small .The electronics parts used in the ROBOT circuits are easily
available and cheap too.
The project uses μc AT89C52 as the controlling element. It uses IR (Infra Red) sensors and two
IR transmitting circuitry. When the obstacle comes in path of robot IR beam is reflected from the
obstacle then sensor gives zero voltage to μc. This zero voltage is detected then μc decides to avoid the
obstacle by taking left or right turn. If the sensor gives +5v to μc that means there is no obstacle present
in its path so it goes straight until any obstacle is detected. The two IR transmitter circuits are fitted in
front on right and left side of robot. The two IR sensors are placed near to transmitters’ IR LEDs. The
connections can be given from main circuit to sensors using simple twisted pair cables. Two motors
namely right motor and left motor are connected to driver IC (L293D). L293D is interface with μc.
Micro-controller sends logic 0 & logic 1 as per the programming to driver IC which moves motors
forward or reverse direction.

3) Motor Driver
4) Motors
1. IR TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER
The IR Transmitter block mainly used to generate IR signal. It uses timer IC555 in astable
multivibrator mode to generate square wave which have continuous pulses of 50% duty cycle of
frequency 38 KHz. This transmitter is so arranged that the IR rays are focused on the sensor. IR
sensor which gives normally 5v at output of it. After receiving infrared light at output of sensor we
get 0v.
WORKING:
Working of IR sensor is very simple and working principle is totally based on change in resistance
of IR receiver which is similar to LDR ( light dependent register ) and reflection of light. Here in this
sensor we connect IR receiver in reverse bias so it gives very high resistance if it is not exposed to IR
light. The resistance in this case is in range of Mega ohms. But when IR light is reflected back and falls
on IR receiver, the resistance of Rx varies in range between Kilo ohms to hundred of ohms. We
convert this change in resistance to change in voltage . Then this voltage is applied to a comparator IC

10
which compare it with a threshold level (defined by us according to required range and sensitivity ).If
voltage of sensor is more than threshold then output is high else it is low (depends on your connection
to comparator ) which can be used directly for microcontroller IR sensor is nothing but a diode, which
is sensitive for infrared radiation. This infrared transmitter and receiver is called as IR TX-RX pair.
Color of IR transmitter and receiver is different.
2. Microcontroller :
This is the most important block of the system. Microcontroller is the decision making
logical device which has its own memory, I/O ports, CPU and Clock circuit embedded on a
single chip.
3. MOTOR DRIVER:
The MCU cannot drive the motors (used to actually make the robot run) directly, so a
motor driver is used.
L293D is used as driver IC. Motors are connected to this IC. According to program in μc
it drives the left and right motor.
4. MOTOR Motor are used for the movement of the robot .here we use the dc motor as it has the
principle of speed controlling.
CHAPTER-3
HARDWARE IMPLIMENTATION
This chapter briefly explains about the hardware implementation of the project. It discusses
about design and working of the design with the help of block diagram and circuit diagram and
explanation of circuit diagram in detail.
3.1. Schematic Diagram:

3.2CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
Basically the circuit consists of the following blocks:-
● Power supply
● Sensors
● Microcontroller AT89C52
● Motor driver

12
● Motors
Let us take the overview of each block one by one
3.2.1POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT:
The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The a.c. input i.e.,230V from the
mains supply is step down by transformer to 12V and is fed to the rectifier. The output obtained from
the rectifier is pulsating d.c voltage. So in order to get a pure d.c voltage, the output voltage from the
rectifier is fed to a filter to remove any a.c components present even after rectification. Now, this
voltage is given to a voltage regulator to obtain a pure constant dc voltage.
TRANSFORMERS:
Usually, Dc voltages are required to operate various electronic equipment and these voltages are
5v,9v or 12v. but these voltages cannot be obtained directly. Thus the a.c. input available at mains

13
supply i.e.,230v is to be brought down to the required voltages level. This is done by a transformer.
Thus, a step down transformer is employed to decrease the voltage to a required level.
RECTIFIER:
The output from the transformer is fed to the rectifier. It converts a.c into pulsating d.c. the
rectifier may be a half wave or a full wave rectifier. In this project, a bridge rectifier is used because of
its merits like good stability and full wave rectification.
FILTER:
Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of the rectifier and
smoothens the d.c output received from this filters is constant until the mains voltage and load is
maintained constant.however, if either of the two is varied, d.c voltage received at this point changes.
Therefore a regulator is applied at the output.
3.2.2 VOLTAGE REGULATOR:
As the name itself implies, it regulates the input applied to it. A voltage regulator is an electrical
regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. In this project, a power supply of
5v and 12v are required. In order to obtain these voltage levels, 7805 and 7812 voltage regulators are to
be used. The first 78 represents positive supply and the number 05,12 represents the required output
voltage levels.

14
Fig: 4.2 voltage regulator 7805 e.g voltages.,7805 (5 V), 7806 (6 V), 7808 (8 V), 7810 (10 V), 7812(12
V), 7815 (15 V), 7818 (18 V), and 7824 (24 V).These devices can handle a maximum output current of
1.5 A if properly heat-sunk. To remove unwanted input or output spikes/noise, capacitors can be
attached to the regulator’s input and output terminals.

3.3.4 PIN DESCRIPTION:
VCC -Supply voltage.
GND-Ground
PORT 0-
Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port.As an output port, each pin can sink eight TTL
inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high impedance inputs Port 0 can also
be configured to be the multiplexed loworder address/data bus during accesses to external program and
data memory. In this mode, P0 has internal pullups.Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash
programming
and outputs the code bytes during program verification.External pull ups are required during program
verification.

17
PORT 1-
Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source
four TTL inputs.When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they are pulled high bythe internal pullups and can
be used as inputs. As inputs Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL)
because of the internal pullups.
PORT 2-
be used as inputs. As inputs,Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will sourcecurrent (IIL)
because of the internal pullups.Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from external
program memory and during accesses toexternal data memory that use 16-bit addresses (MOVX
@DPTR). In this application, Port 2 uses strong internal pullupswhen emitting 1s. During accesses to
external data memory that use 8-bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2emits the contents of the P2
Special Function Register.Port 2 also receives the high-order address bits and somecontrol signals
during Flash programming and verification.
PORT 3-
be used as inputs. As inputs,Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will sourcecurrent (IIL)
because of the pullups.Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C51, as
shown in the following table.Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and
verification.
Port Pin Alternate Functions
P3.0 RXD (serial input port)
P3.1 TXD (serial output port)
P3.2 INT0 (external interrupt 0)
P3.3 INT1 (external interrupt 1)
P3.4 T0 (timer 0 external input)

18
P3.5 T1 (timer 1 external input)
P3.6 WR (external data memory write strobe)
P3.7 RD (external data memory read strobe)
RST-
Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device.
ALE/PROG-
Address Latch Enable is an output pulse for latching the low byte of the address
during accesses to external memory.This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) duringFlash
programming.In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6the oscillator frequency and
may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped
during each access to external data memory.If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0
ofSFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction.
Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has noeffect if the microcontroller
is in external execution mode.
PSEN-
Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory.When the AT89C52 is
executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cycle, except
that two PSEN activations are skipped during
each access to external data memory.
EA/VPP-
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to fetch
code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.Note, however, that if
lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset.EA should be strapped to VCC for
internal program executions.
This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage(VPP) during Flash programming when
12-volt programming is selected.
XTAL1
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.

19
XTAL2
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
Oscillator Characteristics
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively,of an inverting amplifier that can be
configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 7. Either a quartz crystal or ceramic
resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left
unconnected while XTAL1 is driven.
There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal
clocking circuitry is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maximum voltage high and
low time specifications must be

3.4 MOTOR DRIVER:
The L293d is a quadruple high-current half-H driver designed to provide bidirectional drive
currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. It is designed to drive inductive loads such as
relays,solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as wellas other high-current/high-voltage loads in
positive-supply applications.All inputs are TTL compatible. Each output is a complete totem-pole drive
circuit with a Darlington transistor sink and a pseudo-Darlington source.

21
Drivers are enabled in pairs with drivers 1 and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and drivers 3 and 4 enabled
by3,4EN. When an enable input is high, the associated drivers are enabled and their outputs are active
and in phase with their inputs. When the enable input is low, those drivers are disabled and their outputs
are off and in a high-impedance state. With the proper data inputs, each pair of drivers form a full-H (or
bridge) reversible drive suitable for solenoid or motor applications.
External high-speed output clamp diodes should be used for inductive transient suppression.
AVCC1 terminal, separate from VCC2, is provided for the logic inputs to minimize device power
dissipation. The L293d is designed for operation from 0°C

3.4.2 MOTOR:

22
A direct current (DC) motor is another widely used device that translates electrical pulses into
mechanical movement. In the DC motor we have only + and - leads. Connecting them to a DC voltage
source moves the motor in one direction. By reversing the polarity, the DC motor will move in the
opposite direction. One can easily experiment with the DC motor. For example, small fans used in
many motherboards to cool the CPU are run by DC motors. By connecting their leads to the + and -
voltage source, the DC motor moves. While a stepper motor moves in steps of 1 to 15 degrees, the DC
motor moves continuously.
In a stepper motor, if we know the starting position we can easily count the number of
steps the motor has moved and calculate the final position of the motor. This is not possible in a DC
motor. The maximum speed of a DC motor is indicated in rpm and is given in the data sheet. The DC
motor has two rpms: no-load and loaded. The manufacturer's data sheet gives the no-load rpm. The no-
load rpm can be from a few thousand to tens of thousands. The rpm is reduced when moving a load and
it decreases as the load is increased. For example, a drill turning a screw has a much lower rpm speed
than when it is in the no-load situation. DC motors also have voltage and current ratings. The nominal
voltage is the voltage for that motor under normal conditions, and can be from 1 to 150V, depending on
the motor. As we increase the voltage, the rpm goes up. The current rating is the current consumption
when the nominal voltage is applied with no load, and can be from 25mA to a few amps. As the load
increases, the rpm is decreased, unless the current or voltage provided to the motor is increased, which
in turn increases the torque. With a fixed voltage, as the load increases, the current (power)
consumption of a DC motor is increased. If we overload the motor it will stall, and that can damage the
motor due to the heat generated by high current consumption.

23
3.4.1ADVANTAGES:
● Easy to understand design
● Easy to control speed
● Easy to control torque
● Simple ,cheap drive design
3.5 MOTOR DRIVER (L293D):
From microcontroller we cannot connect a motor directly because microcontroller can not give
sufficient current to drive the DC motors. Motor driver is a current enhancing device, it can also be act
as Switching Device. Thus we insert motor driver in between motor and microcontroller.Motor driver
take the input signals from microcontroller and generate corresponding output for motor.
L293D-
This is a motor driver IC that can drive two motor simultaneously.

24
POINTS REGARDING L293D:
Supply voltage (Vss) is the Voltage at which we wish to drive the motor. Generally we prefer
6V for dc motor and 6 to 12V for gear motor, depending upon the rating of the motor.Logical Supply
Voltage will decide what value of input voltage should be considered as high or low .So if we set
Logical Supply Voltage equals to +5V,then -0.3V to 1.5V will be considered as Input Low Voltage and
2.3 V to 5V will be considered as Input High Voltage.
➢ L293D has 2 Channels .One channel is used for one motor.
Channel 1 - Pin 1 to 8
Channel 2 - Pin 9 to 16
➢ Enable Pin is use to enable or to make a channel active .Enable pin is also called as Chip Inhibit
Pin.
➢ All Input (Pin No. 2, 7,10and 15) of L293D IC is the output from microcontroller .
➢ All Output (Pin No. 3, 6,11and 14) of L293D IC goes to the input of Right and Left motor.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS:
OUTPUT 1 (Pin No 3) --- Negative Terminal of Right Motor

25
OUTPUT 2 (Pin No 6) --- Positive Terminal of Right Motor
OUTPUT 3 (Pin No 10) --- Positive Terminal of Left Motor
OUTPUT 4 (Pin No 14) --- Negative Terminal of Left Motor
For one motor:
Table4.1 motor movement
Positive Terminal Negative Terminal Motor Output
0 0 No Movement
Vss 0 Straight
0 Vss Reverse
Vss Vss No Movement
One channel corresponds to one motor.
➢ Enable pin should be high for activating the corresponding channel. Input 1 corresponds to
Output 1.
➢ If Enable 1=High (1)
Input1 =High (1), Output1=Vss
Input1 =Low (0), Output1=0
➢ If Enable 1=Low (0)
Input1 =High (1), Output1=0
Input1 =Low (0), Output1=0
Means if Enable pin low, the output will be at 0 always. If its high output depend on input

26
MOTOR OUTPUT SYSTEM:
For moving a robot we have two dc motors attached to wheels gears.
WHY DC MOTORS:
DC motors are most easy to control. One dc motor requires only two signals
for its operation. If we want to change its direction just reverse the polarity of power
supply across it. We can vary speed by varying the voltage across motor.
WHY TWO MOTORS:
By using two motors we can move our robot in any direction. This steering
mechanism of robot is called as differential drive.

multivibrator mode to generate square wave which have continuous pulses of 50% duty cycle of
frequency 38 KHz. This transmitter is so arranged that the IR rays are focused on the sensor. IR sensor
which gives normally 5v at output of it. After receiving infrared light at output of sensor we get 0v.

CHAPTER-5
SOFTWARE IMPLIMENTATION
Software tools required:
Keil µv3, Proload are the two software tools used to program microcontroller. The working of
each software tool os explained below in details.
5.1 PROGRAMING MICROCONTROLLER
A complier for a high level language helps to reduce production time. To program th AT89S52
microcontroller the keil µV3 is used. The programming is done strictly in the embedded C language.
The compilation of the C program converts it into machine language file (.hex).this is the only
language the micro controller will understand, because it contains the original program code converted
into hex decimal format. During this step there are some warnings about eventual errors in the program.
This is shown in fig. below.

30
Fig. Compilation source code
5.1.1 KEIL Compiler
Keil complier is software used where the machine language code is written and compiled. After
compilation, the machine source code is converted into hex code which is to be dumped into the
microcontroller for further processing. Keil compiler also supports C language code.
5.1.2. PROLOAD
Proload is software which accepts only hex files. Once the machine code is converted into hex
code,that hex code has to be dumped into the micro controller and this is done by the proload. Proload
programmer which itself contains a micro controller in it other than the one which is to be programmed.
This micro controller has a program in it written in such away that it accepts the hex file from keil
compiler and dumps this hex file into the microcontroller which is to be programmed. As the proload
programmer kit requires power supply to be operated,this power supply is given from the power supply
circuit designed above. It should be noted that this programmer kit contains power supply section board
itself in order to switch on that power supply, a source is required. Thus this is accomplished from the
power supply board with an output of 12V.
