Hello
there…
This time I’m gonna build a small robot which can operate with user’s control
mode as well as autonomous mode.
Hmmm….
How to build a small robot ?
I
am planning to use the common microcontroller which is easily obtainable in
today’s market. Arduino Uno R3.This toy has helped me to conduct so many
projects ever since the day I know nothing about computer programming.
The
robot should be capable of conducting four different basic functions. The first one must be the
light follower robot. LSR has appeared in my previous post. That was also my
first project made during my first semester. Well, I am a beginner in that
moment; my robot seems to be too awkward to move and insensitive to light
source, The second robot is bumping robot. The sensors shall attached
on the front-lower part of the robot. Whenever it hits an object, it will turn
to the opposite direction. The third duty to be performed by the robot is
obstacle avoidance. The concept is similar to the previous one. However,it uses
a ultrasonic ranging sensor.
After a review was made on numerous models online, I found that most of the toys is not within my budget. I am also convinced that all those parts have their reasonable
price. Probably, I am cheapskate because I don’t want to overspend on all those high quality kits.
I
am on my plan to use every possible recycled materials to counter the cost
issue.
Stay
tuned for my next post.
Ciaos…
