This Project was done by Prashanth K.S, Guru Vasudev and Myself Ashwin S.

Here we demonstrated the use of automation in our daily lives by designing a working model of a car which has the following features.

1) Interface with a computer.

2) Wireless control.

3) Voice Control.

4) Control using Keyboard/Mouse.

5) Obstacle detection.

 

1) Interfacing with the computer.

The signals to the car will be sent through a computer using theParallel Port. The Parallel Port is the most commonly used port for interfacing home made projects. The Parallel Port has 8 data pins which can be used accordingly to send signals to the car.

2)Wireless Control.

For implementing wireless control we used Frequency Modulation(FM). We made a FM transmitter and are using a normal FM radio as areceiver. The transmitter attached to the PC Parallel Port and the receiver mounted on the car.

3)Voice Control.

This is how we achieve automation. When the user says something in the microphone, his/hervoice is analysed and converted to text. If the sofware recognises the text than appropriate action is taken. Simple commands like front, back etc. are used to control the car.

4)Control using Keyboard/Mouse.

This is just an additional feature in the software apart from the voice control.

5)Obstacle Detection.

The car is capable of detecting obstacles in its path. We used infrared rays to detect these obstacles. The appropriate action to be taken is decided by the user.
