This document provides a synopsis for a project titled "Cell Phone Operated Land Rover". The project aims to control a land rover using a mobile phone. A mobile phone would be connected to a microcontroller and DTMF decoder onboard the rover. When buttons are pressed on the calling phone, DTMF tones are generated and received by the rover, decoded into instructions for the microcontroller to drive motors accordingly. The synopsis outlines the motivation, objectives, methodology, expected timeline and potential impact of using mobile phone control for remote vehicles in academics and industry.

3. INTRODUCTION:
Radio control (often abbreviated to R/C or simply RC) is
the use of radio signals to remotely control a device. The term is used frequently to
refer to the control of model vehicles from a hand-held radio transmitter.
Industrial, military, and scientific research organizations make [traffic] use of
radio-controlled vehicles as well.
A remote control vehicle is defined as any mobile device that is controlled by a
means that does not restrict its motion with an origin external to the device. This is
often a radio control device, cable between control and vehicle, or an infrared
controller. A remote control vehicle (Also called as RCV) differs from a robot in
that the RCV is always controlled by a human and takes no positive action
autonomously.
One of the key technologies which underpin this field is that of remote vehicle
control. It is vital that a vehicle should be capable of proceeding accurately to a
target area; maneuvering within that area to fulfill its mission and returning equally
accurately and safely to base.

4. 1.2 MOTIVATION AND PROPOSAL:
Conventionally, wireless-controlled robots use RF circuits, which have the
drawbacks of limited working range, limited frequency range and limited control.
Use of a mobile phone for robotic control can overcome these limitations. It
provides the advantages of robust control, working range as large as the coverage
area of the service provider, no interference with other controllers and up to twelve
controls. Although the appearance and capabilities of robots vary vastly, all robots
share the features of a mechanical, movable structure under some form of control.
The control of robot involves three distinct phases: reception, processing and
action. Generally, the preceptors are sensors mounted on the robot, processing is
done by the on-board microcontroller or processor, and the task (action) is
performed using motors or with some other actuators.
so the motive is that to increase the range of remote controlled products.for this
mobile phone operated control is best because we can globalize our project & no
limitation of range.
We proposed this project to the Electronics & Communication Department so as to
give a new direction to the above topic and to globalize the use of land rover with
very less noise interference.

5. 1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
The objective of our project is to control the robot by mobile phone. In this
project, the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile
phone attached to the robot. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a
tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call.
This tone is called ‘dual-tone multiple frequency’ (DTMF) tone. The robot
perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone stacked in the robot. The
received tone is processed by the ATmega16 microcontroller with the help of
DTMF decoder MT8870. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent
binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller. The
microcontroller is pre programmed to take a decision for any given input and
outputs its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the motors for forward or
backward motion or a turn. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile phone
stacked in the robot acts as a remote. So this simple robotic project does not
require the construction of receiver and transmitter units. DTMF signaling is used
for telephone signaling over the line in the voice-frequency band to the call
switching centre. The version of DTMF used for telephone tone dialing is known
as ‘Touch-Tone’. DTMF assigns a specific frequency (consisting of two separate
tones) to each key so that it can easily be identified by the electronic circuit. The
signal generated by the DTMF encoder is a direct algebraic summation, in real
time, of the amplitudes of two sine (cosine) waves of different frequencies, i.e.,
pressing ‘5’ will send a tone made by adding 1336 Hz and 770 Hz to the other end
of the mobile phone.

6. 1.4Methodology
The method of project operation is given below.
Makes call to the mobile phone (as receiver) attached to the robot. Now after
answering the call, and in the course of the call, if any button is pressed control
corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone
is called dual tone multi frequency tome (DTMF) robot receives this DTMF tone
with the help of phone stacked in the robot.
The received tone is processed by the 16F72 microcontroller with the help of
DTMF decoder MT8870 the decoder decodes the DTMF tone in to its equivalent
binary digit and this binary number is send to the microcontroller, the
microcontroller is preprogrammed to take a decision for any give input and outputs
its decision to motor drivers in order to drive the motors for forward or backward
motion or a turn. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile
phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote. So this simple robotic project does not
require the construction of receiver and transmitter units. DTMF signaling is used
for telephone signaling over the line in the voice frequency band to the call
switching center. The version of DTMF used for telephone dialing is known as
touch tone. DTMF assigns a specific frequency (consisting of two separate tones)
to each key s that it can easily be identified by the electronic circuit. The signal
generated by the DTMF encoder is the direct al-gebric submission, in real time of
the amplitudes of two sine (cosine) waves of different frequencies, i.e. ,pressing 5
will send a tone made by adding 1336hz and 770hz to the other end of the mobile.
