The objective of our project is to create a robot that detects a cell phone signal and then moves toward the strongest signal. When the robot gets to the source of the signal it would then notify the user that cell phones aren't allowed in this area. There are a lot of control aspects to this system. Below is a list of the things we hope to accomplish throughout the semester.
- Movement of the robot
- Robot roams autonomously to find the strongest cellular signal.
- Robot responds to set reference signals,i.e. home".
- Object avoidance.
- Servo motors configured so that the robot can turn on a dime.
- Memory of path travelled.
- Detection of the signal
- Detection of cell phone signal.
- Detection of our own transmission, from say the "home".
- Controlling the system wirelessly.
- Modes of the robot
- Detect any signal to tell the user to turn off their cell phone completely.
- Detection of cell phone use and notification that cell phones aren't permitted in the area. "
- Home"
- A place to recharge the robot.
- (?) Using solar power (from power lab)
- A frequency beacon to tell the robot where to return to.
- The robot itself
- A power meter (battery charge detection).
- Screen for displaying messages.
- Lights and sounds.
