18. Expansion ideas

Now you can start with your own experiments!

If everything functions and your PRO-BOT128 has successfully passed the individual test programs, you can start developing own programs

and hardware extensions.

Here are a few suggestions of what you could do with your robot and which hardware extensions are possible:

• PID or PD control for forward drive

• Controlled faster line follower

• Mobile alarm system

• Odometric evaluation so that the robot passes defined points and then finds its way back

• IR communication with HI-FI devices

• PC software for remote controlling

• Radio modem for data exchange between the PC and the PRO-BOT 128

• Small camera for image evaluation (e.g. CMU CAM)

• Play football

• Charging base for PRO-BOT128

• Automatic access of a charging base when the batteries are empty

• Producing maps with an ultrasound sensor (e.g. Devantech SRF02)

• Playback of various melodies via the beeper
