PROJECT AIM: This project aims to explore the use of sensors and Mechatronic
technology in order to produce an obstacle avoiding robot based on
a household sized application.
PROGRAMME: Issue A, 17
th
March 2006
1. Research the background behind mobile technology including motor driven
wheels, microcontrollers and sensors.
2. Analyse different technologies such as sensors and microcontrollers to obtain
the most practical configuration of a mobile system.
3.
Design and create prototypes of the mechanical structure of the robot. Analyse
and construct leading design.
4.
Write code to define robot manoeuvring/instructions and obstacle identification
and attempted avoidance.
5.
Implement paramount designs into final robot.
If time permits
6.
Develop a motorized arm to retrieve items.
