PIC CONTROLLED ROBOT

A working prototype of a mobile robot is designed for the project. The robot has the
capabilities to travel in a predetermined path with obstacle collision avoidance
systems. The robot composed of five main components which are body structure,
controller, mobility and movements, power distribution and sensors. The body of the
robot is the platform where all the circuits and battery are positioned at. Controller is
the main 'brain' or CPU controls the overall operation of the robot. Power supply on
the other hand is used to distribute power and thus making to every circuit and parts
of the robot to work. As a mobile robot, the mobility and movements are very
important aspects in order to ensure the robot manages to travel in every path
determined earlier. Sensors included in this project namely ultrasonic sensor as well
as infrared sensor are used to make the robot 'feel' and 'see' the environment. All
these components are fabricated partly and being integrated or combined to produce a
one whole working prototype. Hardware and software simulation are two methods
used in completing the project.
