Bluetooth-Controlled Robot Using Windows Phone Application Abhay Kumar Gupta, Revanta Tikku, Sumit Kumar, Gaurav Verma and Adesh Kumar Abstract A robot is basically an amalgamation of both mechanical and electronics working in synchronization which in turn are guided by electronics and computer programming. In this era of globalization and industrialization, robots are being developed and used tremendously in various domains of human life in order to ease their work and provide precision. There are many people who have worked on Android platform along with Arduino, but a combination of Windows app along with AVR Microcontroller is not a common sight. This paper presents the imple- mentation of a robot which is capable of being controlled by a Windows phone application (smartphone) that acts as a wireless remote controller. This remote controller can be interfaced to the Bluetooth module using UART protocol. According to the commands received from the remote controller, robot performs the specified function.
