Abstract

Locomotion for most mobile robots today is still focused on the standard wheel. This may be due to its cost which is much cheaper compared to mecanum wheel. This project will show the benefit of using mecanum wheel as locomotion from its movement specialty. Mecanum wheels also known as Swedish wheel were born to the world in 1973. The mecanum wheels are special and unique compared to other wheels. These wheels are expensive compared with other standard wheel and due to its design, the programming process more difficult and complex. The aim of this project is to design and develop a mobile robot that able to move at any direction using the specialty of mecanum wheel. This project involves to design and build a robot drive system with mecanum wheel and controlled manually using a teach pendant. In the early stages of this project at PSM1, it involves a process to design and develop the robot mechanical structure, electronic circuit and programming PIC. Two conceptual designs have been proposed. The best one will be chosen for fabrication. This project involves to fabricate a custom made of teach pendant and voltage regulator for electronic component. The SK40C and MD30B, also being use in this project as the microcontroller and motor driver respectively. After all designing and development process is fully done, it involves to assemble and component, loading programming and test the robot. The testing methods are planned and perform in order to define weather this project is achieve the objective or not. As the conclusion, this project is successfully achieved the project aim but it still require further improvement to make this robot perfect.
