Computerized Controlled Robot (CCR)

Computerized Controlled Robot (CCR)

Trial Version Description: CCR is two stepper motors following the exact motion of the computer’s mouse. The device is comprised of two main parts: An RF transmitter and an RF receiver. The transmitter, which is connected to the computer through the serial port, consists of a PIC microcontroller and an RF transmitter module. A Visual C++ program is loaded on the PC. This program opens a video window or an “avi” file. When the mouse scans this video file, motion is converted into an electrical signal which is sent to the transmitter, and then in turn to the receiver, which drives two stepper motors. Hence the mouse motion is converted into the vehicle motion, and so reproducing the exact mouse pathway.

Applications:

1. Automated cleaning.

2. Archeological exploration.

3. Astronautical exploration.

4. Guidance systems.

Options: Optional program which saves the mouse motion in a file so that it can be retrieved whenever it is required, to eliminate the need for manual mouse movement.

Simpler explanation:
You take a photo or a video of the place you want to clean,you upload this photo or video into your computer & just move your computer's mouse on this photo.That's it, the Robot does the rest,it cleans this place that you traced with the mouse.
