CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Wireless control plays an important role in modern robotics, enabling flexible and efficient interaction between humans and machines. Bluetooth technology provides a simple, low-cost, and reliable solution for short-range communication.
As part of Smart Servo Robot Projects, the Bluetooth Controlled Robot allows users to operate a robotic system using a smartphone as a remote controller. Commands such as forward, backward, left, right, and stop are sent from a mobile application to the robot via Bluetooth communication.
The microcontroller receives these commands and processes them to control the motors through a motor driver module, ensuring smooth and accurate movement of the robot.
Key Features :
Wireless control using Bluetooth
Mobile phone–based operation
Simple and user-friendly interface
Low cost and easy to implement
