Project Report

Introduction

This project report is all about the design of robot design by the group of students. It involves RF interfacing, joystick control, chain or belt mechanism, wheels, battery pack and other necessary material. It has sensors for detecting position of the device. DC motors are also used in this robot. These motors are get power from battery pack and work according to the instruction provided from joystick. Joystick use RF transmission to operate major functions of robot.

The fundamental segments of a modern robot are then controller n the closure effectors (which is the part of the manipulator).n the force supply and the controller. The controller, which is the robot's arm, comprises of sections jointed together with tomahawks equipped for movement in different bearings permitting the robot to perform live up to expectations.

The finish effectors which is a gripper device, an uncommon apparatus, or installation appended to the robot's arm really performs the live up to expectations. Control supply gives and manages the vigour that is changed over to movement by the robot actuator, and it may be electric, pneumatic, or pressure driven (Sharir, 2013). The controller starts, terminates, and coordinates the movement of groupings of a robot. Likewise it acknowledges the vital inputs to the robot and gives the yields to interface with the outside globe.

Structure

The basic structure of this robot consists of a complex mechanical design. The motors are linked with the mechanical system by means of belts. These belts are made up of hard rubber, with treads mechanism. One of the first things that we worked on for the design project was building the chassis that was listed in the manual.

We knew that this would give us a good idea of where to go with for our final design, acting simply like à base. However, after taking into consideration the dimensions required for the Sack Attack field, we knew that we would have to make everything to a bigger scale. This resulted in disassembling this small chassis and instead rebuilding a larger chassis that would give us more room to lay out our parts as well as allow for a longer extending arm.

Now that the square base was done, which consisted of two wheels on each side attached to two engines with interlocking gears, we moved on to considering practical designs for the rest of the robot. We knew that we wanted a lifting arm mechanism; however, we were afraid of overextending the arm and risking a slip up. Taking this into consideration, we decided to concentrate solely on the 15 inch goal rather than the 30 inch goal.

We were afraid this might cost us some points, but decided that the risks and difficulty in trying to place a sack on the much smaller, taller goal outweighed the rewards. To make up for this, we made sure that the robot could get down low enough to get down underneath the 15 inch bar in order to get some ...
