Design And Analysis Of Carrying Robot Using Arduino Board Control System

Mobile robot has leading role in the applications of military, industrial, agricultural and medical purposes. Mobile robot moves in desired path and carry the object through manipulator through desired route and avoid the obstacle within the path. Proposed mobile robot equipped with an IR line following system, and Ultrasonic obstacle avoidance system. The combination IR and Ultrasonic sensors will determine the position and obstacle avoidance for the mobile robot.  The aim of this project is to control robot using the Arduino board, an L293D interface circuit and a motor driving system. The design of Manipulator, Gripper, and Wheels were made through Solid works. The electronic component are made through OrCAD software. The AC analysis was performed to know about the Magnitude and Phase angles of all nodal voltage. The DC analysis was performed to calculate the nodal voltage and branch current over range of values with the AC and DC analysed as functions of time and Frequency. From the AC and DC analysis, the maximum frequency (40 MHz), Modulation (5 KHz), Input signal node (5V), Output signal node (12V), Phase (VPVPWL_RE_N_TIMES) and (VPWL_RE_FOREVER) for the Arduino board, L293D and motor are obtained. The designed robot is to be incorporated with the global position system and image processing unit in order to detect the obstacles in its way. The robot performance is to be evaluated with the help of robot coding.
