ABSTRACT

Due to many applications of mobile robot platform, demand for it also

increases. This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a three-wheeled
mobile robot platform with two differential wheels with simple user interface for
the actuators of the robot. It involves design concepts and processes including the
kinematics, hardware, control and power and electronic board, low level software
and communication with the high level control. Two methods in the robot
trajectory control which are rotation and straight movement are also described in
this paper. The robot has been tested for its DC motor speed and position. It has
also been surveyed for its acceptability to EECE students of MSU-IIT. Some
characteristics were considered during the conduct of the survey like cost,
robustness, complexity of building, simplicity of the interface, etc. the respondents
affirmed the level of acceptability of mobile robot.
