Design and Implementation of Manual Mode of a Customizable Robot

Abstract

The main aim of our project is to build a robot with customizable feature. Initially we have managed to complete the control system with some very useful features. We have designed two control systems separately that are- the manual control system and the auto control system. The manual control system using RF technology has been developed by another student of our group. The auto control system is relay exciting and challenging because it has two sub features- the collision detection and the cliff detection. The system is designed in such a way that, everything would work simultaneously for different situations. So, the auto control part makes sure that when triggered, the robot can detect static and moving objects in front of its and avoids as necessary as well as detect cliffs and do not jump off and die. and when everything was ready we just merged two control systems to make a powerful and stable system. All of the control system has been developed using Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller development board.
