PIC CONTROLLED ROBOTIC DEVICE DRIVE SYSTEM

The Final Year Project course is designed for students to perform research; design
and development work in each discipline, to produce practical solutions. It provides
opportunity for students to use the tools and techniques of problem-solving by
engagement of the project. Under proper guidance of supervisor, the students will
shape the direction in the field of interest as a preparation for approaching their
desired career path in the near future, as well as gain better understanding of the
responsibilities they have to shoulder when they undertake future projects. The
objective ofthis project is to produce a storage/delivery autonomous robot which will
operate ina production plant. The Scope of Study will cover areas of research done to
fulfill design requirements ofproject with objective and its functionality. The areas of
design requirements will include movement mechanism, electronic circuits, and
programming. These subareas are developed and integrated for implementation ofthe
workable robot. The project is divided into two phases; 1) intensive design research
and 2) implementation and construction. Methodology and Project Work of this
project is done by implementing a lot of research not only on the Internet but also
literature review on scholars that have completed similar robotic design. The weekly
Log Book and Progress Report is also compiled and summarized to present the
author's progress so far. Consultation with supervisor and other FYP students had
also aid in objective of completing the author's FYP. The author has also included
flow chart ofactivities planned throughout the semester to ensure maximum progress
ofher FYP. The research taken with the methodology mentioned allows the author to
fulfill progress of design requirements planned in completion of the robot with
reference to the scope of study for the project. Progress and modification made
throughout project are discussed in detail, to reflect objective of project. Future
improvisation and recommendations are also suggested atthe end for further research.
