High-Level Project Summary
Astronauts face many psychological problems caused by the increased stress of staying and working in closed rooms and being shackled daily away from family and friends, which means that they feel lonely, anxious, and nervous at the same time. Hence the idea of a simulation. The robot's creation mimics the existence of a human being in his home, in his work, or elsewhere, allowing him to live in near-complete and real situations and everyday affairs. A person controls it wherever he is, and his family can take the robot anywhere. It's a camera that helps him see his family and communicate with them, and it can be used for business people, which requires them to be in lots of places same time.

Detailed Project Description
The manufacture of a robot by the astronaut in his home and on Earth allows him to live in near-complete and genuine coexistence in situations, natural affairs, and daily life on Earth. The astronaut controls it from the outside of the Earth, and the astronaut's family can take the robot anywhere. And that is by
1- Camera that helps him see his family and communicate with them continuously throughout the day.
2- Screen (Screen View) The person's parents were able to see him.
3- Microphone
4- Speaker
5- Map for home: A robot could move home at specific points without controlling it.
How does it work?
This idea is based on mobile robot control. Using DTMF through the Global Mobile Communications System Network (GSM) system base consists of the phone sent to the phone received to the DTMF decoder to the microcontroller, which controls the motor control, DRIVE and LCD.
The robot's move based on the translator commands is forward by moving the Maturin forward. Rear to rear, right, left, front, right, back. Left with the right mattress moving forward and left-back.
DTMF decoder functions as translating signals from the future device and then sends them to micro-control.

What benefits does it have?
1- The advanced DTMF (Dual Tone multi-Free) technology allows communication and control of another device through the Internet using a computer or mobile phone.
2- A cloud (DTMF CLOUDEM) connects the controlled person to the controlled device.
3- The Technical Support Section references the robot's remote control, condition, and efficiency through the PLC monitor. This technology allows the Technical Support Team to intervene remotely to process any error or malfunction in any robot component by sending alerts to the support team.
Also, it's solve problems that astronauts face: Reducing depression
Increase in astronaut production
Improving astronauts' mood
The Feeling of Family Warmth
Contact with his family continuously and easily.
Tools:
•Gateway (communication to cloud service).
•Cloud (cloud-based mechanical systems analytics)،(Robot program code،( (conveying information).
•Remote communication. (laptop, smartphone, tablet) IOS, ANDROID, WINDOWS.
• User interface: HTML 5 (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
•Technical support alerts (sends an alarm to the technical center automatically for any error may occur).
•Navigation system of the home.
Space Agency Data
Nasa information cloud helped us with the information about astronaut life and his daily routine, the problems that face the astronaut in space like physical or mental health issues, and that huge amount of information helps us to make our research and to develop our project and we will use the astronaut information in NASA information cloud to connect the astronaut in the space station with his robot in a home which is connected to NASA cloud information with id and password which given to him to make him able to connect to the robot to use it at any time.

Hackathon Journey
Certainly participating in the competition provides us with experience, meet new friends and working under stress. Let me talk about the three previous essential things in detail. First, the experience is split into two things: experience from research and hand working on a prototype. We can gain more information and acknowledgment from research. Also, know how to read a research paper or scientific paper is very interesting. In addition, we have learned to read information from reliable sources, and not all sites can use their information for research. All these experiences we learned by searching for a challenge we chose in the competition. furthermore, we met new friends during the hackathon and talked together, so that is a beautiful thing here. we learned several things for example: how to search, Draw on other people's experiences, teamwork, and work under stress. Working under stress that is we finished the project in 2 days that's amazing. actually, we don't found a challenge for our project, so we chose "invent your challenge". in our opinion that is the best choice for the project regardless, we are not eligible for Global Judging. We hope that there will be a real robot, not just a model or an idea and that it will be relied upon to solve the problems that have been mentioned before or in many other actions. the setbacks we are facing the hackathon was online and we can't work together.
