Final Look of Robot
In this week we had to explain all the undrlying questions about the project.
For my final project I chose a line following robot to deliver the medicines in the different wards and rooms of hospital. Its a version of line following robot which will carry medicines from one place and move them to other place following the line path already provided. It will remember many paths along its way and will try to find a shortest to reach the goal point.
Well to be exact there are many helpful tutorials available on internet as well as many guys have done a similar work in Fab Lab. Most of the guys have created their own version of robot to solve specific problems. But I couldn't used them as my version of robot is quite change than them
Majority of the components were already available in the lab, the other components I required, can be aquired through online delivery.
I already attached the list of the components along with their approximate cost. The total cost of the required components is around $30.
The project mainly involved the 3d printing, laser cutting and the electronic circuit designing and the programming. The detail of the items and procedures is given below
For my project I required an arduino leonardo, so I had to build that with the help of my friend in the lab. My main circuit involved 12v dc volt battery which powers the main board and then my whole robot moves according to programming.
I had to laser cut the acrylic sheet for the body of the robot. As I have attached the picture of my project, the laser cut module is easily distinguishable. The acrylic sheet was available in the lab so I had no need to buy it from market.
I had to 3D print the wheels of my final project car, I used the lab's facility to print them using PLA material.
Being a computer student, we always look around for the project planning before attempt to complete it, this is complete project timeline which I am following.
This is the project plan I am following for the completion of final project
There is an important part of the project, coding. I initialy started my work on ATTINY84 but it was unable to hold the data in memory of the certain modules and the logic required for the car to store and the sort according the cost. Whether the current model will be able to solve this issue?
Will I be able to finish it on time?
I am following a proper plan to solve the issue of schedule.
Upon successful implementation, my robot will be able to follow the path to deliver components. If the model is able to follow the path my project is already complete. Now the only part is remaining is the coding factor where I have store the paths in memory and sort them out.
