In the area of robotics, it is important
to deal with design, operation, construction, structural disposition,
manufacture and application of robots. Using computer technology one can
work on their control, sensory feedback, and information processing
using appropriate hardware and sensors. Many motors are used in robotics
which is controlled through dedicated micro-controllers with
appropriate program. Therefore, language knowledge in assembly and ‘C’
is a must to design robotic applications.
Nowadays many engineering students
showing lot of interest on robotics projects and they create lot of
interest as compared to others. Robots such as line following, pick n
place, firefighting, wall tracking, hexapod, humanoid etc are few
popular projects in academic level.

Please check the below Robotics Live ProjectsLine Following Robotic Vehicle
A Line Following Robot is a robot which
follows a certain path on which it moves. The path can be a black path
on a white floor or a magnetic field. These robots are being used in a
variety of applications from being a guide at public places to automatic
vehicles. Here a Line Following robotic vehicle is developed which is
made to move on a curved black path sensed by a pair of sensors for each
motor.
Here the robotic vehicle consists of two
motors and the DC supply to each motor is controlled using a transistor
which acts as a switch. A pair of sensors each comprising of an IR LED
and a photodiode are placed beneath the circuit. The white floor is
sensed by the sensors and the motors are given the rotation accordingly.
At the turning, on encountering the black path, one of motors stop
rotating with the sensor input. The sensor works on the principle that
when light from the IR LED falls on the white surface it gets reflected
and this reflected light when falls on the photodiode, reduces its
resistance so as to control the conduction of the motor switch.
Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
A robotic vehicle is designed which
serves the purpose of detecting metals. Such robots can be used to
detect landmines at places. Landmines are explosive devices which are
placed under the ground and it is very dangerous to detect those
manually using metal detectors. Here a metal detector is embedded to the
robot circuit and the robot is controlled using RF communication.
At the transmitter side, number of push
buttons is interfaced to the microcontroller to provide required motion
to the robot. When any button is pressed the command is send to the
microcontroller which delivers a binary data for the button and the
parallel data is converted to serial data using encoder and this command
is transmitted using RF module.
At the receiver side, this command is
decoded by the Decoder and based on the command; microcontroller gives
relevant signals to the motor driver to drive the two motors to give the
robot the desired motion. A metal detector is embedded to the circuit
which detects any metal and accordingly gives an indication using a
buzzer.
Obstacle Avoidance Robotic Vehicle
A robot can be controlled either by
detecting the environment on its own or manually using a remote or any
other means. Here a fully automatic robot is developed which senses the
area around it and accordingly moves. A sensor arrangement is embedded
which senses any objects ahead of it and accordingly the robot changes
its direction to avoid any collision. Such robotic vehicles can be used
at places like sanctuaries etc.
Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect
presence of any obstacle. These sensors work on the principle of
reflection of ultrasonic waves by the objects which is received by the
sensors and converted to electrical signals. On receiving any
interruption signal, the microcontroller thus gives proper command to
the motor driver such that one of the motor is stopped and other motor
rotates, giving a change in direction to the robot.
Pick N Place Robotic Vehicle with Soft Catching Gripper
A robotic vehicle can be used to pick up
objects and place it accordingly. For this purpose the robots consist
of end effectors whose moment is controlled accordingly using motors.
The robotic vehicle is controlled remotely by a set of buttons using RF
communication.
At the transmitter side, a keypad is
interfaced to the microcontroller and when a relevant key is pressed,
the microcontroller generates a binary code for that key and this binary
code is converted to serial form and sends through a RF module and an
RF antenna.
At the receiver, two motors are used to
give relevant motion to the robotic vehicle and another two motors are
used to control the movement of the gripper to hold any object and place
it on the desired place. The commands send from the transmitter are
decoded and used by the microcontroller to give proper signals to the
motor driver ICs.
RF Controlled Robotic Vehicle with LASER Beam Arrangement
One of the major applications of
Robotics is in military. They can be used to survey enemy lands, detect
and destroy targets. A Robot can be embedded with a LASER gun which can
emit strong focused monochromatic light that can actually harm the
targets or produce a spot on the target to make them easier to be
detected. Here a simple prototype of such a robotic vehicle is designed
which is embedded with a LASER pen and controlled using RF
communication.
War Field Spying Robot with Night Vision Camera
A robotic vehicle is designed which
consists of a wireless camera that can take images even in dark and
wireless transmit these images to a TV receiver unit. These robots are
frequently used in military to spy on enemy lands and send the
information to the controlling unit. Here this robot is controlled using
RF communication by a set of push buttons.
Fire Fighting Robotic Vehicle
Robots can be used in many hazardous
situations like when a fire accident occurs. Here such a prototype is
demonstration which consists of a water pipe with a nozzle and a pump.
The movement of the robot as well the spraying of water by the nozzle is
controlled remotely using a set of push buttons and the commands are
transmitted the robot through RF communication.
Line Following Robotic Vehicle with Microcontroller
Here a line following robotic vehicle is
designed which is controlled using a microcontroller. Here one pair of
sensors are used to sense the path and based on the input, the
microcontroller gives proper commands to the motor driver IC to drive
the motors accordingly.
Touch Screen based Remote Controlled Robotic Vehicle for Stores Management
Here a pick and place robot is developed
which is controlled using RF communication. A touch screen panel is
used to give commands which are transmitted and received by the robot to
give proper motion to the robot in the desired direction and control
the pick and place operation.
Auto Metro Train that Shuttles between Two Stations
An automatic train is developed with
automatic start and stop mechanism such that the train stops at a
particular station and starts moving after a certain time. It also
consists of a mechanism to automatically open and close the door and
counts the number of persons entering the train.
