| Summary: | This project report presents a design of an autonomous Stair Climbing Robot which
can travel on the plane surface and climb to the staircase. The prototype of the
climbing robot is built in such a way that its electronics and mechanical complexity
are reasonable and practical. The hardware and software implementations are
involved in this project in order to meet the design criteria for our prototype. The
hardware development mainly involves electronics hardware and mechanical
hardware. The prototype is designed with two tracked mechanisms and it is built
from the scratch. Later on, it is mounted with electronics hardware components to
perform the desired functionalities. It also has the visual capability through vision
sensors and wireless communication capability from host PC to sensors network and
the micro-controller.The robot’s motion along the predefined path is controlled using
fuzzy logic controller. The fuzzy rules are developed for deciding when to process
information from each of the sensors. The input signals from the sensors are sent to
micro-controller one at a time. The real-time embedded software for the microcontroller
is developed in C language. Experimental results show the climbing robot
prototype built in this project have met the desired functionalities. |
