Abstract

This project is about designing and developing a stairs climbing robot which is manually controlled using Bluetooth wireless technology. This project is actually an improvement of a previous PSM project of stairs climbing robot. The improvement focuses on the design structure, robot capability and technology implementation. For the design structure, the improved stairs climbing robot have a more stable structure compared to previous design. The base of the improved robot is wider and has larger surface contact to the ground, therefore it is more stable. For robot capability, the improved stairs climbing robot uses tracked wheels, this type of wheel increases the traction between wheels and stairs during climbing thus preventing it from slipping. This also increased the capability of the robot to climb stairs compared to the previous one that was only able to climb two steps of stairs. In the technology implementation, the improved stairs climbing robot utilizes Bluetooth technology. That adopted frequency hopping technique minimizes the chance of signal interference compared to the previous robot that uses radio frequency (RF) signal that was highly exposed to interferences during communication. The result from testing shows that this robot is able to climb up stairs better from the previous stairs climbing robot.
