INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT
In this era of automation and robotics automated vehicles in industries are going to be
need of time. This project deals with the development and fabrication of such robotic
vehicle. The project concept is meant for industrial and other uses where a working on
predefined path for a predefined destination is required when there is traffic of similar
vehicle in the arena.
PROJECT IN DETAILS
1. Principle of Working
Whenever the project model is run, the model moves in forward direction,
whenever an obstacle is detected ,the vehicle stops goes in reverse direction
for a peculiar distance and then steers itself , goes in forward direction and
aligns itself nearly parallel to its original path and continues in forward
direction thus avoiding obstacle and rerouting itself.
2. DESIGN
• The project model is a ladder chassis based vehicular platform with rear wheel drive. The
rear wheels are powered using PMDC motors. These motors are provided with reduction
gearbox and then the power is supplied to the rear wheels to propel the vehicle in forward
and reverse direction.
• Meanwhile the front wheels are provided with wheel hubs and are used for steering the
vehicle. Front wheels are provided with Akerman's steering. The steering is also provided
with PMDC motor. The motor is coupled with reduction gearbox and the power output is
provided to the wheel hub to steer the vehicle in desired direction. Power to the motors is
provided with help of battery pack.
• On this vehicular robotic platform an electronic control unit is provided that incorporated a
motor driver unit, a obstacle sensor unit, a microcontroller unit, a power supply unit etc.
APPLICATIONS
• Warehouses
• logistic handlers
• Data Analysis, etc.
FUTURE WORK
• Obstacle Avoidance Robot which avoids obstacles which it encounters. In future this
project can be enhance by connecting Bluetooth module and a camera so that the user
can see the detected obstacle on his screen by sitting at just one place.
• We can add different sensor for data analysis of path.
• By using different sensors we can perform different operations with this Robotic vehicle.
