• ·         PCB layout in PDF, Source code in RAR file
• ·         Initial setup, parts list, self-test for motors

What are you building?

 Here we describe a robot (robocar) that can be steered in any direction just like you drive your car. Wireless steering senses the motion and transmits corresponding instruction to control the robot through RF communication. The robot also has an obstacle detection and avoidance system implemented. 

Benefits:

The RF remote control provides the advantage of a good controlling range (up to 100 metres with proper antennae) besides being omnidirectional.

Parts list:

Arduino Uno board, PIC16F877A microcontroller chip, L293D motor driver & 2-DC motors, RF Transmitter Receiver module- HT12E etc.

What are you building?

This next dual-mode robot is operated manually using an RF-based remote control. The robot has some inbuilt intelligence to avoid obstacles by changing its path. Further modifications for applications like automatic vacuum cleaner are also available. In such an application the vacuum cleaner will automatically clean the floor, or you can direct it using the RF remote while sitting relaxed on your sofa.

Benefits:

The RF remote control provides the advantage of a good controlling range (up to 100 metres with proper antennae) besides being omnidirectional.

Parts list:

PIC16F877A microcontroller chip, LM324, L293D motor driver & 2-DC motors, RF Transmitter Receiver module- HT12E etc.

Project Review: PID Algorithm Based Line Following Robot System

You can find this project and its details in this site link: PID Algorithm based Line Follower Robot System

This site links provides following details:

• ·         PID Algorithm details
• ·         Circuit and working, Construction and Testing
• ·         PCB layout in PDF, Source code in zip file
• ·         Initial setup, parts list, self-test for motors
• ·         Configuring constants, Running and stopping

What are you building?

An automatically moving robot which follows the already drawn line on the floor with the help of IR Transmitting-Receiving LEDs. The accuracy of the movement of a line follower mostly depends on the motor movement and sensing system. Many algorithms are used to coordinate the line data read by the sensors to control the motors. But here a simple and most precise control is obtained by PID [Proportional Integral Derivative] algorithm.

 

Benefits:

The current set values can be viewed on the OLED display, and the same are automatically saved to EEPROM of the microcontroller, which makes testing the line follower with the PID algorithm simple and easier.

Parts list:

ATmega16 microcontroller, L293D motor driver & 2-DC motors, LM324 Op-Amp, IR Tx-Rx LEDs, 2.4cm OLED display etc.

The robot turns its head by 180° and scans people in its range using an ultrasonic module. If it finds anyone nearby, it greets the person with ‘Namaste’ with both hands pressing together, which is the traditional Indian way of wishing people.

Benefits:

The robot can be used in offices, shopping centres, parks and party halls where it can greet and attract people.

Parts list:

Arduino Uno, 5-Servo motors, Speech Processing module, ultrasonic distance meter HC-SR04 etc.

• ·         Project working details
• ·         Circuit and working, Construction and Testing
• ·         PCB layout in PDF, Source code in RAR file
• ·         Run Application details, parts list

What are you building?

A MATLAB based project where images taken by the camera are processed for colors and the position of a red-colored object is extracted [say] out of the image. Based on the position of the red colored object in the image, different data re sent via COM port. The serial data received by the robot and corresponding movement is done.

Benefits:

This project is just an example and you can use this for various industrial applications such as controlling heavy load-lifting machines with some object of a specific colour in your hand.

Parts list:

P89V51RD2 microcontroller chip, L293D motor driver & 2-DC motors, MAX232 etc.

What are you building?

A simple remote controlled robot that can be controlled using an IR remote that is used for a TV or DVD player, or an equivalent IR remote.

Benefits:

The basic working principle of this remote controlled robot is that the signal sent by the IR remote on pressing Play/Record button on the remote is saved in EEPROM of the microcontroller (MCU) in record mode. It plays back the same code (signal) when you press the same button in play mode. The program for the MCU can save 4-bit code (0 to F hex code) in record mode and output the same 4-bit code when the button is pressed in play mode.

Using the combination of these four bits, two motors installed on either side of the robot (third one being the caster wheel) can be controlled through a motor driver IC. Thus, different codes are used to control different movements of the robot.

Parts list:

ATmega8A microcontroller, L293D motor driver & 2-DC motors, IR Receiver module TSOP1738, 5mm LEDs etc.
