The project is designed to
develop a pick n place robotic vehicle with a soft catching gripper. For
example, it can safely handle a bomb very carefully to avoid explosion while
catching. The robotic vehicle is android application controlled for remote
operation.
At the transmitting end using
android application device, commands are sent to the receiver to control the
movement of the robot either to move forward, backward and left or right etc.
At the receiving end four motors are interfaced to the microcontroller where
two for them are used for arm and gripper movement of the robot while the other
two are for the body movement.
The android application device
transmitter acts as a remote control that has the advantage of adequate range,
while the receiver end Bluetooth device is fed to the microcontroller to drive
DC motors via motor driver IC for necessary work. Remote operation is achieved
by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS; upon a GUI (Graphical User
Interface) based touch screen operation.
The main advantage of this
robot is its soft catching arm that is designed to avoid extra pressure on the
suspected object for safety reasons. Further the project can be enhanced by
interfacing it with a wireless camera so that the person controlling it can
view operation of the arm and gripper remotely.
