The whole working is a step by step process each and every
action is achieved one by one in an well organised manner

3.1 STEP-1:

BASE DRIVER MODULE

Base Driver Module Explanation

The whole set up is a step by step layers Layer one Drive to
the wheel and lift .This is the first important step this replace-
ment system will be synchronized to the car using zigbee pro-
tocol and accessed by digital display inside the car as a menu
option along with the other utilities the defected tyre is select-
ed by the driver through the display. After selection the sys-
tem is actuated this is the base driver system over it other
modules are fitted this is navigated through self navigation
system which is pre programmed in the device around the
four tyres of the vehicle. When the device is actuated the
punctured wheel considered back wheel of a car is defected
then the robot from the deck climbs down through slide path
.Which is set while constructing the car for this robot to climb
up and down. Then the robot will move to the selected wheel
which has a defect in it to replace it this is the first action of the
robot this is achieved by using four motors connected to four
wheels which is used to run the whole set up. This whole part
is the lower part of the robot.

3.2 STEP-2

JACK MODULE

Jack used to lift the car up and down to remove and replace
the robot according to the certain height, it depends upon the
type of the vehicle used which can be programmed according
to the requirement

3.3 STEP-3 :

BOLT EXTRACTOR MODULE

Bolt Extractor Module Explanation

Capturing processing and unscrewing .The whole set up is a circular module this is the upper part of the robot .after lifting the car, camera fixed at the one arm which is 180 degree flexi- ble and rotatable vertically and horizontally will take the snap of the bolt fixed area the picture is processed inside the pro- cessor the .consider a tyre fixed with four bolts the camera takes a snap of it. The sockets fixed in the tyre is detected as spots ( face detection methodology in camera) using face de- tection concept under application of DIP IC for processing the remover sockets with motors at fixed at another 180 degree arm rotates its head clock and anti clock wise which has the bolt fixer and remover according to the bolt sockets placed in the tyre .this is used because if the tyre position alters it is easy to fix and remove the bolt. By moving its position back and front, the bolt extractor removes the bolt from the tyre and then the sockets holds the bold and bends back to 180 degree. Layer three is Holding, removing and refitting the tyre.

3.4 Step-4: Grabber Module

Grabber and holder which is like an ordinary pick and drop robot which is more efficient capable of grabbing tyre from rim and holding a tyre a slight rotating clockwise and anti- clockwise movement to some degrees is programmed because if the tyre is fixed for long time it will be fixed tightly to the rim to remove that this rotation movement is used. After the tyre is removed then an alarm signal is sounded after hearing the sound the work of the driver is to take the tyre out from the grabber and replace with the new tyre then the work will continues as above in reverse manner .to fit exactly to the holes of the tyre and to the rim the slight rotation movement is used to organise the holes. And refitted back again to the car

3.5.STEP-5 :

Back to position. After all the works are done then first the grabber bens and rests inside the circular disc followed by the extractor and then the camera arm fits the dish and the jack pulls down the car and inserted back inside the dish then the whole kit is moved back to the position from where it is placed first and separate sliding path is constructed for this purpose.

4. COMPONENTS REQUIREMENTS AND SPECI- FICATION

4.1. MOTORS

Eleven dc motor are used for base driver, front, back,clock and anti clock rotation, for pop and place operations. Then sepa- rately minimum four bolds are fitted to fix the tyre so four separate high efficient low rpm dc motors are used to screw or unscrew the bolts .the requirements changes in accordance with the type of vehicle and number of bolts present in it.

4.2. CAMERA

Cameras used here is an high pixel camera which detects the spot where the bolt sockets are present using simple face de- tection technique used in most of the camera and then the cap- tured image is involved to image processing technique which is achieved through DIP integrated circuit which is an image processing chip and followed through the commands of the microprocessor which process the information and does the extracting work.

4.3. IC

DIP IC( Digital Image Processing Integrated Circuit) which is the important component use to achieve extractor of bolts from tyre which is fixed inside the cameras high efficiency and multi application oriented IC which plays the major role of this robot.

4.4. PROCESSOR

ARM processor is used to control all the operations of the ro- bot which is the highest efficiency processor which controls which manages and organise all the working in a specified manner. Processor programming languages is emulated to perform all the operations of the robot.

5. ADVANTAGES

Fabrication plays major role in this robot this robot is ex- tremely compaque and fits at the roof or dickey of the car. And stainless metals are used for construction of the vehi- cle.

Half of the power to run this robot is extracted through solar power panels and preserved in batteries and the re- maining power is charged through power supply or else if not used fully powered by solar which reduces all the power consumption factors.

Fully automatic which is the key feature for this robot reduces the user work completely.

Robotics and image processing techniques are implement- ed to achieve maximum percentage of perfection.

CONCLUSION

The overview of this paper work is to embed all the possible technologies to achieve maximum percentage of perfection to replace the defected tyre of the car using robot. Many robots are used in manufacturing of automobiles but this robot will be the best application oriented of automobiles after construc- tion of the car. User friendly actions and easily powered by solar at least one fourth of the power to run the robot. Many advancements are done in robotic field this robot may satisfy all the possible needs to fulfil the requirement.
