Abstract

The increase in human needs has led to further development of the robotics sector. The process to measure the area in building construction are done manually by persons. Tools for measuring length width and height are measuring tape and laser tape measure. Measuring tape is widely and commonly used for measurement, the problem that usually occur is measuring an area that is not straight line. Another limitation using measuring tape where it only up to 100 feet measurement only. For a long measurement, this will affect the accuracy of the measurement. Other than that, is the drawback for the laser tape measure is that when measuring short distances, some models are not as effective. Prices differ as per each device's capabilities. Therefore, the best and more quality laser tape measure comes with higher price and it can cost five times higher than common one. The main purpose of the development of automatic robot for area mapping project is for assistive device for the measuring the room area. This project also gives the measurement readings. To get the system works autonomously, Arduino Mega microcontroller is used as the brain of the machine along with the supports of ultrasonic sensor and encoder sensor module as the displacement measurement device. The Arduino mega controller also comes with open supply software system feature that permits tough software system developers to use the Arduino code to merge with the prevailing programing language libraries and may be extended and changed. The ultrasonic sensors function to avoid the obstacle plus as movement assistive.
