Applications of Mems in Robotics Using Psoc 5

--An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that measures acceleration forces. These forces may be static, like the constant force Gestures provide a rich and intuitive form of interaction for controlling robots. Accelerometer Converts acceleration from motion (dynamic acceleration) or gravity (static acceleration) to either analog or digital electrical signals. MEMS accelerometers are one of the simplest but also most applicable microelectromechanical systems. They became indispensable in automobile industry, computer and audio-video technology. This is an interesting robot that can be controlled by PSOC based accelerometer device. 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. In this project we are using PSOC, DC Geared motors. In this project, L293D H-Bridge is used to drive the geared DC motor. The RF modules used here are STT-433/315 MHz Transmitter, STR-433/315 MHz Receiver, HT12E RF Encoder and HT12D 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. Keywords-PSOC 5(cortex M3 processor), ROBOT, RF TX, RF RX,
