This project is designed to control a robotic vehicle by voice commands and manual control for remote operation. For detecting the signals provided through any mobile application, an ATMEGA32 microcontroller is employed in conjunction with a Bluetooth connection that is linked to a control module. The Bluetooth receiver connected to the Arduino receives serial data delivered from mobile application. We will deliberate how to control robot-controlled car using Wi-Fi module through android application of an android mobile. It provides control commands over Bluetooth that include managing the motor’s pace, detecting, and exchanging data with mobile regarding the robot’s direction as well as range from the closest barrier. 

Design and Implementation of Voice Command-Based Robotic System

The pipe robots are autonomous machines that operate within pipe networks and perform several tasks including surveillance, monitoring, cleaning, rescue, etc., therein. Various elements, such as rust and fractures, could harm pipelines. Consequently, a reliable monitoring system is necessitated to guarantee the security of these pipes. It is difficult for an individual to examine each component of pipes and repair the problems. Pipe robots have been created as a result of such issues. Moreover, the demand for studies on pipe robots has increased in latest days. A variety of pipe robots are usable which include wheel type, screw type, wall-press type, walking type, inchworm type, etc. Relying on its specifications and assessment goal, every model has a unique set of benefits and drawbacks. This paper presents an overall review on the advancement of pipe robots from past few years. Authors believe that ongoing advancements in pipe robot technology are anticipated to be significantly influenced through this paper. 

A Comprehensive Review on the Development of Pipe Robot

Pipe surveillance and rescue robot is a type of automation that is used for inspection and rescue. In this paper, an Arduino based robot is designed and implemented for mainly pipe inspection and rescue operation. It can be used for cleaning and welding, as well. A prototype is built which can move through a pipe with a diameter of 8-20 inches. The architecture of this robot is simple and effective. It has a cylindrical body with adjustable legs and changeable shaft. As a result, it can easily pass through both straight and curved pipes. According to the needs, the shaft of the robot can be changed. By using a motor, a mechanical shaft is also designed which can grab things during rescue operation. The robot can carry a weight up to 25 kg. The robot is user-controlled. It has an interface with the user through a camera. It is a wire-based device. Therefore, energy is supplied to the robot from outside.
