MEMS BASED ROBOT

Main Objective
The main aim of this project is to control a ppt(power point presentation) using
MEMS.The MEMS will be fixed to the hand. Whenever the hand moves in any direction,
the mechanical movement of the hand will be recognized by MEMS.MEMS converts
this mechanical hand movement in to equivalent electrical signals and sends it to the
microcontroller. The microcontroller receives this and controls the PPT for different
operations.
POWER SUPPLY
Here is the circuit diagram of 9 V regulator using popular 7805 IC. The 7805 is a 9 Volt
voltage regulator IC with features such as internal current limit, safe area protection,
thermal protection etc. A 16 V transformer brings down the 230V mains, 1A bridge
rectifier rectifies it and capacitor C1 filters it and 7805 regulates it to produce a steady
5V DC output.
AT89S52 Microcontroller
The AT89S52 is a low-power, high performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K
bytes of in-system programmable Flash memory. The on-chip Flash allows the program
memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with in-system programmable Flash on a
monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S52 is a powerful microcontroller which provides a
highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.

MEMS sensor& Driver

Mems sensor:
A micro-Elecromechanical System (MEMS) sensor is usually constructed by similar
masking/etching process as microchips. The MEMS sensor's working principle a
common MEMS sensor is an accelerometer to measure acceleration. In such a sensor, a
relatively large piece of silicon can be suspended by thin pieces and its motion is
monitored
Motor driver
The Easy Driver is a simple to use stepper motor driver, compatible with anything that
can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse. Easy Driver requires a 7V to 30V supply to power the
motor, and has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface. Connect a 4-wire
stepper motor and a microcontroller and you've got precision motor control! Easy Driver
drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar. I.e. 4,6, or 8 wire stepper motors.
MEMS TECHNOLOGY
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, is a technology that in its most general
form can be defined as miniaturized mechanical and electro-mechanical elements (i.e.,
devices and structures) that are made using the techniques of micro fabrication. The
one main criterion of MEMS is that there are at least some elements having some sort
of mechanical functionality whether or not these elements can move .The term used to
define MEMS varies in different parts of the world. In the United States they are
predominantly called MEMS, while in some other parts of the world they are called
Microsystems Technology or micro machined devices
IMPLEMENTATION
A robot can operated actually by using a remote ,but in our project robot is operated
with the basis of hand gestures. A Gesture Controlled robot is a kind of robot which can
be controlled by your hand gestures not by old buttons. You just need to wear a small
transmitting device in your hand nothing but mems sensor. This will transmit an
appropriate command to the robot so that it can do whatever we want. The transmitting
device included a comparator IC for analog to digital conversion and an encoder Ic
which is use to encode the four bit data
CONCLUSION
This PPT is controlled by the hand using MEMS technology, MEMS converts
this mechanical hand movement in to equivalent electrical signals and sends it to the
microcontroller. The microcontroller receives this and controls the robot,and it is user
friendly available for all.
