Abstract

This project report is to design and build a storage water tanks cleaning robot. The cleaning robot are enter to replace the human labor and to reduce the time and danger for human in the storage water tanks. This method can save on maintenance costs and reduced water wastage. In addition, the robot are controlled using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to control all the movement such as forward, reverse, turn right, turn left, activated the pump, lamp and also can view the surface inside the storage water tanks via web cam camera. The operation of this robot is to slowly suck the sludge to accumulate in the bottom of the robot and the pumped flow out through the hose pump for water filtration process. The project are used Microcontroller (Pic16f877a) who became 'Main Brain' to operate the relay circuit to move the dc gear motor, pump circuit and lamp circuit. This all operation are use serial communication via RS232 cable to communicated the computer to Microcontroller and give the output to move the cleaning robot. Furthermore, this kind of robot must be waterproof to operate in water at high water pressure.. This report describes the construction of their robot in terms of body building mechanical design and circuit development until make the software that can control all the operation in this storage water tanks cleaning robot.
