An Intelligent Robot based on Sound Source Localization and Ultrasound Distance Detection

In both industrial and research areas of electronic engineering,Sound Source Localization for robot control has always been an interesting subject to be further studied.Under some dangerous situation,especially when a special driver is required to implement a particular task,the device should be able to combine robotics control technology with Sound Source Localization,and take actions according to the different response patterns.In this research project,a multifunc-tional model driver,named "Mobile Island",has been designed and built up by integrating the Emulator 8051 micro-controller,Intel 8255 interfaces,some components and other necessary devices.The intelligent Mobile Island imple-mented by C language programs can operate under three control modes.In the sound control Mode 1,the model driver can detect and track a target by Sound Source Localization and then turn and move toward the destination.In the keypad control Mode 2,it can be controlled by a manual keypad.In the free run Mode 3,Mobile Island can move and turn by itself.When finding an object in front,it will turn away before moving forward again,so that it can avoid crashing on the obstacle.
