Abstract

This project, Design and Construction of a Remote-Controlled Robot with Color Recognition Ability presents the design and implementation of a remote-controlled robot capable of detecting and responding to colors. The robot was built using low-cost components including a color sensor, microcontroller, and wireless module. It can identify three primary colors with over 90% accuracy under standard lighting and responds to remote commands in under 0.3 seconds. To improve performance and minimize errors due to environmental lighting, components such as a sensor hood and vibration dampers were integrated. The robot functions within a wireless range of 5 meters, and safety features like emergency stop and real-time color response were successfully implemented. The project demonstrates practical application of embedded systems, wireless communication, and real-time control, making it an excellent educational tool for learning basic robotics and automation
