Abstract: Recently, mobile robots are widely used to perform difficult tasks in many applications as industrial manufacturing, dangerous areas and military, medical industry and for assisting the hampered human. This study focused on the interface between the human and machine. In this project, we designed and developed a wirelessly controlled mobile robot. The robot navigation is controlled by using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) through a wireless protocol with help of a computer (PC) by using a LabVIEW Software. We can represented the whole project by a system which consists of two parts, first part is a controller part that presented by the PC and second part is the mobile robot. The mobile robot work as a slave to a coordinator in the other hand the PC works as a coordinator. A microcontroller presented by an Arduino Uno microcontroller type and HC–12 wireless serial communication mote achieve the wireless communication between the robot and the PC. Steppers motors with its derivers (A4988 stepper motor derive) are used for implementation of this mobile robot and the motion of this robot is controlled through a series of pulses. This robot can navigate in many paths; in this project, three different paths are navigated. Depending on the signal received from the PC the navigation of robot reached the determined location. Wireless control of mobile robot reach many benefits including the using of robot in dangerous application and avoidance wires or cables that disrupt the motion of the robot.
