System improvement for increased mobility and implementation of wireless control to a mobile tank robot
The main purpose of this thesis is to improve the mobility of the mobile tank robot which uses a triangular track wheel mechanism. This mobile robot uses differential drive as its steering method. Two pieces encoder sensor are used to measure the speed of the wheels and six pieces infrared sensor to sense obstacle around the mobile robot. It uses an Arduino microcontroller as its controller which is connected to a Bluetooth serial communication device to communicate wirelessly with the PC. Thus this mobile robot sensors output can be monitored and controlled using a PC. By synchronizing the speed of the wheels, the deviation of the mobile robot from its path has been reduced to less than 2 cm for every 1 m of movement, and by synchronizing the wheels number of rotation the deviation has been reduced to less than 2 cm for every 3 m of movement.
