Abstract—Robotics is an interesting field where every engineer can showcase his creative and technical skills. As the development of individual and cooperating autonomous robots advances, the need for a robust and reliable communication method becomes apparent. This paper summarizes a the feasibility of implementing Dual-Tone, Multi-Frequency(DTMF) as an alternative mean of robotic communication to Radio Frequency (RF). The user in order to control the robot should make a video call to the 3G enabled phone attached in the Vehicle, from any another 3G enabled phone, which can send DTMF tones by pressing the numeric buttons and can view the video output. The cell phone in the Vehicle will be kept in auto answer mode. So, after a ring the cell phone accepts the call and starts video transmission. Now for the DTMF tones pressed, the tones are fed to the circuit and the corresponding actions such as move forward or backward,turn left or right, target identification and locking, missile launching and parameter monitoring using black box are performed.

Index Terms—DTMF technology, 3G wireless communication, black box.
