Implementation of Cell Phone Detection Mobile Robot for Restricted Areas Using NodeMCU

Abstract

This paper involves the design and implementation of cell phone detection mobile robot. This is applicable in examination halls, private conferences and meeting rooms in which the using of cell phones is highly restricted. The robot is able to detect the presence of unauthorized communications by active phones and then distort them. The detection process is achieved by implementing an electrical circuit for sensing undesirable signals and using NodeMCU for interfacing the robot with a main computer unit. The main computer unit is used as a controlling platform in terms of mobile robot navigation as well as detection and jamming activating. This is accomplished by creating a graphical control panel programmed using a special HTML script. In this work, the cell phone detection mobile robot has been applied in an examination hall to simulate real educational environment. The robot has detected active calls by cell phones with a circle diameter of 1.2 meter and then jammed them directly. The whole area has been covered for detection and jamming by roaming the robot wirelessly via the remote main computer. Different voltage measurements for different detection distances have been recorded.

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Safety and Security System for Vehicles Based on GSM Communication and IoT Network for Real-Time Tracking

“…An open-source module, the NodeMCU microcontroller kit is mostly used to create IoT applications [45]. This kit includes firmware that is specifically made to work with Espressif Systems' ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC, which is embedded as a built-in chip [46].…”

Implementation of anti-collision train prototype based on arduino microcontroller

“…The L293D a simple and low cost used to drive a small DC motor, this driver is a typical Motor driver or Motor Driver IC which allows DC motor to drive on either direction or speed control. L293D is a 16-pin IC which can control a set of two DC motors simultaneously in any direction [14,15]. The Figure 7 shown below illustrate the pin configuration of the L293D motor driver…”
