The robot is an intelligent mechanical
device and the first robots are made-up by “Czech Playwright Carel
Capek” in the year 1920. Robotics is a branch of an engineering which
deals with designing, creating and operations. The word robotics were
derived from the term robot. In present days, there are few varieties of
robots are available like serial type, parallel type, walking type and
mobile type robots. The parts of the robotics mainly comprise power
supply, controllers, grippers, manipulators and end effectors.
When we think about a robot, the primary
factor strikes our mind is that imitates somebody’s. However, in real
terms, there’s no actual definition of a robot. But, there are some
basic characteristics that a robot ought to have like intelligence,
sensing, energy and movement, etc. Some robots do the work by themselves
to perform particular tasks. But, alternative robots need a help fro
human beings. As a result, these robots are dependent. Robotics projects are used completely in different applications like medical ,space communication and military applications
Latest Robotics Projects for Engineering Students
Nowadays, several engineering students
are showing a lot of interest on robotic projects. They create a lot of
interest as compared to other electronics projects.
In education level, these projects on robotics are very popular, they
are are line following robot, pick and place robot, fire fighting, wall
tracking, humanoid and Hexapod etc. These projects on robotics for
engineering students will helpful while doing the practice. So,we tend
to advise engineering students to select from these robotics kits as these are capable of operating for them.
War Field Spying Robot using Night Vision Wireless Camera
The main intention of this project to
design a robotic vehicle using RF technology and wireless camera, where
RF technology is used for remote operation and wireless camera is used
for monitoring purposes. The robot along with a camera can transmit
video with night vision capabilities. This type of robot is helpful in
the war fields for the purpose of spying.An 8051 microcontroller is used for the desired operations.
This project uses a night vision
camera to capture images even in dark places and transmits wirelessly
to a TV receiver unit. These robots are used in military applications
like sending the information to the control unit and spy on enemy lands.
This robot is controlled by using RF communication with a set of push buttons.
Furthermore, this project can be designed using DTMF technology.
Using this technology we can control the robotic vehicle by using a
cell phone. Compare to RF technology, this technology has an advantage
over a long communication range.
Auto Metro Train that Shuttles between Two Stations
The main goal of this project is to
demonstrate the technology, which used in a metro train movement. This
project is used in many developed countries. The metro train is
equipped with a controller, which allows the automatic running of the
train from one station to another.
This auto metro train project
is designed with an automatic start and stop mechanism. So that the
metro train stops at a particular time and starts after a particular
time. It comprises of an automatic mechanism to open and close the door
and it counts the number of persons while entering into the train.
Track Sensing Robotic Vehicle Movement
The main aim of this project is to
design a robot, that tracks a particular path. The path can be a black
lane on a white floor. Track sensing robotic vehicle is being used in a
variety of applications from being a guide at public places for
automatic vehicles. Here, this robotic vehicle is designed by a pair of
sensors which is made to move on a curved black lane sensed for both
motors.
This track sensing robotic vehicle
comprises of two motors, DC supply. These two motors are controlled by a
transistor, which acts as a switch. The two sensors, each sensor
including an IR LED and a photo diode is placed under the circuit. When
the two sensors sense the white floor, then the motors give the rotation
accordingly.At the turning, on encountering the black path, one of the
motors stop rotating with the input of the sensor. The working principle
of the sensor is, when IR LED produces light on the white floor, then
it gets reflected. When the reflected light drops on the photo diode, it
decreases its resistance to control the conduction of the motor switch.
Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
The main object of this project is to
design a robotic vehicle to detect metals and land mines. Land mines are
unstable devices which are located under the ground and it is hazardous
to detect those manually using metal detectors. In this project, a
metal detector is embedded in the robot and that is controlled by using
RF communication.
At the transmitter end, the number of push buttons is interfaced to the microcontroller
to run the robot in a particular motion.When the button is pressed,
then the signal is sent to the microcontroller which sends the a binary
data to the button. The encoder is used to convert parallel data to
serial data and this command is transmitted using RF module.
At the receiver end, this signal is
decoded by the decoder.Based on the signal, the microcontroller gives
related signals to the motor driver to drive the motors. So that the
robot moves in desired motion. A metal detector is embedded in the robot
circuit that detects the metal and gives an indication by using a
buzzer.
RF Controlled Robotic Vehicle with a Laser Beam Arrangement
This project is designed to control a
robotic vehicle by using RF technology. A low power laser light is
interfaced for demonstrating the possibilities of ending a distant
object by its beam. An 8051 microcontroller is used for the desired
operation.
At the transmitting end push buttons are
used to send instructions to the receiver to control the movement of
the robot either to move right, left forward or backward. At the
receiving end, two motors are interfaced to the microcontroller where
they are used for the movement of the vehicle.
The RF transmitter acts as an RF remote
control that has the advantage of adequate range (up to 200 meters) with
proper antenna, while the receiver decodes before feeding it to another
microcontroller to drive DC motors via motor driver IC for necessary
work.
A laser pen is mounted on the robot body
and its operation is carried out from the microcontroller output
through appropriate signal from the transmitting end. The laser light
used is just for demonstration purpose and not a powerful one.
Further, this project can be enhanced using DTMF technology.
Using this technology we can control the robotic vehicle by using a
cell phone. This technology has an advantage over long communication
range as compared to RF technology.
