Abstract
An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle that operates while in
contact with the ground and without an onboard human presence.
UGVs can be used for many applications where it may be inconvenient,
dangerous, or impossible to have a human operator present.
The basic idea of this system is based on the problems that are related to
the above fact.

Introduction
We are very much well versed about the general concept of remote
controller system, which is used to control electronic gadgets from a
certain distance.
It may be more than twenty years or so that Scientists, Engineers are
working on long distance controller systems towards management of
home or office appliances remotely.
Some of the developments consist of DTMF based circuitry to receive
and execute control signals over traditional telephone networks and
suggests future development using microcontroller based systems.

Objectives
Cellular phones using GSM network is used to control an unmanned
ground vehicle(UGV).
This technique is solely dependent on worldwide GSM network,
which is up and running 24x7 and has very minimal interference.
The unmanned vehicle is interfaced with a GSM network consisting
of Arduino GSM Shield, Arduino Uno microcontroller board and two
motors.
One GSM enabled cellular phone is used as a transmitter (handheld
remote controlled device) and Arduino GSM Shield is used as a
receiver interfaced with the unmanned ground vehicle(UGV).

Problem Definition
The major disadvantage of these wireless unmanned robots is
that they typically make use of RF circuits for maneuver and
control
Bluetooth controlled devices work on Bluetooth technology for
sending and receiving of data which uses short wavelengths (UHF
Radio Waves).
The IR systems which employ the infrared technology work only
on the principle of line of sight.
Furthermore, the communication is fettered if there are obstacles
and other hindrances.

Solution Strategy
A call is placed from a cellular phone to the Arduino GSM Shield interfaced
with the unmanned vehicle.
As soon as the call is received by the Arduino GSM Shield, it is auto
answered and the connection between the sender and receiver is established.
During the call, if any button is pressed on the keypad of the cellular phone, a
tone (DTMF) corresponding to the key pressed is generated.
The Arduino Uno controller board is programmed to make decision based on
the input from the DTMF decoder and accordingly outputs the signals to the
motors attached.

System Overview:

Proposed Methodology
When we want to move the vehicle from remote place,
firstly we have to make a call to the destination number
which we insert the SIM in the GSM module.
During the call, if any button is pressed on the keypad of a
cellular phone, a tone corresponding to the key pressed is
generated. This tone is called as DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple
Frequency).
The DTMF microcontroller decodes the tones to resultant
binary digits which are in turn sent to the Arduino Uno
microcontroller board.
The microcontroller is preprogrammed and according to the
code it performs the action i.e. the vehicle can be move
forward, reverse, left and right.
