EXISTING METHOD:

Existing method proposes a system in which ROBOT is controlled through

Micro electric interfaces nothing but MEMS in which accelerometer will read the
gestures of the human and thereby the robot is controlled according to the gestures.

PROPOSED METHOD:

In proposed system we will place RFID reader to robot so that

when it is sent into library or laboratory or new areas it will read the things and
areas and it will transmit the relevant tag information through zigbee to monitoring
section and monitoring section is extended with Ethernet protocol so that the data
read can be maintained in data base.
TECHNOLOGY:
MEMS TECHNOLOGY:

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are Freescales

enabling technology for acceleration and pressure sensors. MEMS-based sensors
are a class of devices that builds very small electrical and mechanical components
on a single chip. MEMS-based sensors are a crucial component in automotive
electronics, medical equipment, hard disk drives, computer peripherals, wireless
devices and smart portable electronics such as cell phones and PDAs. MEMS
technology provides the following advantages: cost-efficiency, low power,
miniaturization, high performance, and integration. Functionality can be integrated
on the same silicon or in the same package, which reduces the component count.
This contributes to overall cost savings.
Zigbee:
Now a day's every system is automated in order to face new challenges.
In the present days Automated systems have less manual operations, flexibility,
reliability and accurate. Due to this demand every field prefers automated control
systems. Especially in the field of electronics automated systems are giving good
performance. And this is realized by making use of Zigbee technology for
communication. Zigbee is new wireless technology guided by IEEE 802.15.4
Personal Area Network standard. It is primarily designed for the wide ranging
controlling applications and to replace the existing non-standard technologies. It
currently operates in 868MHz band at a data rate of 20Kbps in Europe, 914MHz
band at 40kbps in USA, and the 2.4GHz ISM bands Worldwide at a maximum
data-rate of 250kbps.
