Abstract

The Turtletron Robot that will be build and program has a circular base and achieves locomotion using two wheels, each one powered by DC motors and gearboxes. The robot will operate in autonomous mode or under remote control by human. It will use an ultrasonic range finder and a linear shaft encoder to map its surrounding area during autonomous mode, and will also use the sonar to inhibit movement if an o~rator is directing the robot. into an obstacle during remote control. The robot will also be equipped with a linear shaft encoder that will give it the ability to keep track of the distance that it has traveled and to create maps of its · surroundings. The robot exhibited four modes of operation that are search, move, dazzle and touch. The robot is controlled by a Microchip PICI6F84 microcontroller to control all the movement, response to the environment, mapping and avoid obstacles as it explores by monitors the ultrasonic range finder.
