Abstract

This project is about designing and developing mobile robot model that can be controlled using graphical user interface (GUI) by using wireless protocol. This project focuses on the control by using GUI as navigation control centre and operator can get a view an image and real time video on visual basic software that act as GUI for model of mobile robot. This mobile robot is designed to follow instruction from the computer via Xbee wireless communication to overcome limitation of wired based control. The main part of the robot consists of chassis, graphic user interface (GUI), Xbee module, DC gear motor, wheel track, camera and microcontroller (PIC I 8F4550). The differential drive method using the L298 is used to control the forward , backward, turn right and tum left movement of the robot. In the mechanical design, track wheels have been used rather than conventional wheels to enable the robot to travel through different type surface or rough terrain. Additionally, a camera is use by attached a wireless camera to the robot as a monitoring system by function as CCTV camera due to some problem. Last but not least, the robot will be design by wireless control so that the operator able to remote controls the robot. The wireless control allows the operator away from the unsafe environment or harmful device and evades the wire or cable interferes the robot movement.
