Abstract

This project is about designing and developing a mobile robot that can travel in a maze path. The robot was programed to be start and end at any desired coordinate. There are two program were used, offline program and online program. These two programs was based on algorithm used. The Left Hand Wall algorithm was selected because it is easily to understand and suite with any mobile robot. For the offline program, it was only done in simulation. The compiled program will pop-up the windows application that known as Serial Monitor. This Serial Monitor will come out with the maze solution. For the online program, it was compiled and burned into the Arduino module. This module used to run the electronic parts in order to operate the robot. The maze robot were constructed from a few main components which are Arduino Nano (microcontroller), digital infrared (IR) sensor, high speed metal gear DC motor, Arduino Motor Shield (motor driver) and compact LIPO batteries. These components were basics and friendly used to any electronics application. From the experiment, the offline program and online program was toward success and made the maze robot travel along the maze path. Some difficulties were involved in this project such as assembling the robot hardware which takes time and passion, especially on calibrating the robot to follow the path and making turns on the junction. These problems were analyzed and resolved by testing and commissioning method.
