Abstract

Robotics and artificial intelligence have become an indispensible part of our lives. From Turing’s test to deep learning we have seen their presence and evolution. The rate at which robotics is currently proceeding is so fast that soon we would live in a world where intelligent systems would have seeped into the most common applications. It would thus be suitable to get acquainted with the technology as it advances and grows. It would be much better if people could learn to do it at a young age, especially children. Hence we decided to create a robot that could be operated and controlled by children. The aim of our project is to create a robot using 8051 microcontroller interfaced with Bluetooth and Android App. This is how the robot works: the Bluetooth module of the robot interacts with the Android App to control the application of three different robots: Line Follower, Button controlled and voice controlled robots via exchange of numeric data. The interface has been designed in a user-friendly manner that would be easy for kids to operate. This can ultimately be used to introduce children to the world of robotics and would give them an insight as to how things work. The future is moving towards a state where technology would be pervasive and knowledge would be preferable.
