This paper is about a robot that would be able to solve mazes or labyrinths and look for the exit. The project will utilize the PIC microcontroller. This is like those in the micromouse competitions since it resembles a mouse put in a labyrinth searching for its cheese. This would also implement the Wall Follower algorithm to solve the maze and will use proximity sensors to detect the walls of the labyrinth. The robot would be as small as possible as to make its navigation of the maze more efficient in terms of turning left or right, or even doing a full U-turn since a bulky robot would have a hard time navigating the turns in the maze. This project would also require an 8x8-tiled square maze to effectively apply the algorithm and to have a test labyrinth to work on.
The solar module will be positioned first in North, East, West or South. Then, the PV array will automatically search and stop at the highest current gained by the solar cell. This will occur every 30 minutes from 0600H up to 1800H. In these positions the values of current, voltage and power were measured. The design focuses on different applications in a small farm setting with fan, incubator, aquarium pump motor and lightning. In essence, highlighted are the technical concepts of solar energy for electricity generation.
One of the predominant applications of the theories and principles of robotics is in industrial automation particularly in automotive manufacturing. This paper explores some mini-projects related to industrial automation that will help students and even robotics enthusiasts understand the kinematics of each manipulator. These projects can be as simple as following a straight line to as complex as adding machine vision and online intelligence to the robotics manipulator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
