1) The document describes a student project to build a cellphone-operated robot that can be controlled via calls made to a mobile phone attached to the robot. 2) The robot uses a DTMF decoder chip to interpret the tones generated when buttons are pressed during a call and sends signals to a microcontroller to control two motors. 3) Potential applications include using the robot for surveillance, vehicle navigation using 3G technology, and adding features like cameras or sensors for future improvements.
