INTRODUCTION
This robot is controlled by a RF remote.

This can be moved forward and reverse

direction using geared motors of 60RPM.
Also this robot can take sharp turnings

towards left and right directions.

This project uses AT89S52 MCU as its

controller.

A high sensitive induction type metal detector is

designed using colpitts oscillator principle and fixed to
this robot. Also a wireless camera with voice is
interfaced to the kit.
When the robot is moving on a surface, the system
produces a beep sound when metal is detected.
This beep sound will be transmitted to remote place
Simultaneously the images around the robot will be
transmitted to remote place.

User can monitor the images and metal detection

alarms on Television.
The RF modules used here are STT-433 MHz
Transmitter, STR-433 MHz Receiver, HT640 RF
Encoder and HT648 RF Decoder.
The three switches are interfaced to the RF
transmitter through RF Encoder.
The encoder continuously reads the status of the
switches, passes the data to the RF transmitter and the
transmitter transmits the data.
This project uses 9V battery.

RF Technology
RF is a Radio Frequency Technology
which uses frequencies in the range
of 3 MHz to 300 GHz in general
Here in this project, we are using the
frequency of 433 MHz which is in the
RF frequency Range.
The distance of this Radio frequency
range is up to 100m in general
In this project, the distance is up to
20m

 This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA

power supply. 7805 three terminal
voltage regulator is used for voltage
regulation. Bridge type full wave
rectifier is used to rectify the ac out put
of secondary of 230/12V step down
transformer.

PIN DIAGRAM

Metal detectors use electromagnetic induction to detect metal. Metal

detector can help you to find the metals buried deep in the ground. Uses
include de-mining (the detection of land mines), the detection of weapons
such as knives and guns, especially at airports, geophysical prospecting,
archaeology and treasure hunting. Metal detectors are also used to detect
foreign bodies in food, and in the construction industry to detect steel
reinforcing bars in concrete and pipes and wires buried in walls and floors.
The simplest form of a metal detector consists of an oscillator
producing an alternating current that passes through a coil producing an
alternating magnetic field. If a piece of electrically conductive metal is
close to the coil, eddy currents will be induced in the metal, and this
produces an alternating magnetic field of its own. If another coil is used to
measure the magnetic field (acting as a magnetometer), the change in the
magnetic field due to the metallic object can be detected

WIRELESS CAMERA WITH VOICE

TRANSMISSION

 A portable small-sized camera has a case having a ball-point

pen appearance in a portion thereof and a through hole in one

side, and a camera circuit part built in the case and for
photographing an object through the hole.

The portable small-sized camera has the ball-point pen

appearance, photographing a particular location in secret is

possible without exposure to others.

The

camera circuit part is connected to a wireless

transmission device for outputting a signal by a cable.

A wireless receiving device at a remote location from the

wireless transmission device receives a signal of the wireless

transmission device for outputting or recording.

The portable camera further includes a microphone and the

transmission device transmits a voice signal.

Not line of sight

Not blocked by common materials: can

penetrate most solids and pass through walls

ADVANTAGES:
Longer range
Not light sensitive
Not as sensitive to weather/environmental

conditions

APPLICATIONS:

Industries are using RF solutions for monitoring,

control, process, inventory tracking, data links and

bar code reading devices.

Commercial wireless applications such as door

announcers, security and access systems, gate

control, remote activation, score board and paging
systems

 Automotive companies employing RF for

wireless remote control, remote keyless
entry and safety applications.

Consumer products including electronic

toys, home security, gate and garage door
openers, Intercom, fire and safety systems,
and irrigation controllers.

Conclusion
This project presents a metal detecting robot using RF

communication with wireless audio and video transmission

and it is designed and implemented with Atmel 89S52 MCU
in embedded system domain.
The proposed method is verified to be highly beneficial for

the security purpose and industrial purpose.
