AUTONOMOUS WIRELESS NAVIGATION INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

INTRODUCTION

This robot is a concept for industrial use. The mainly target of the
robot

is

manufacturing

plant

with

production

lines

and

sub

workstations. The robot controlled by human machine interface. They

used Arduino Mega and X-Bee 802.15.4 RF module to do the wireless
communication part of the project. X-Bee is a module that does the
wireless communication process by radio signals. We used low rage
(100m) X-bee module for this project. We need two X-Bee modules, one is
connected to the robot main board Arduino Mega by using Arduino X-Bee

shield and another one connected to the computer by using X-Bee

adapter.

MOBILITY

The mobility of the robot is a two-wheeled robot.

The directional of the robot is Omni directional.

NAVIGATION

The navigation of the robot uses Lab View. This robot mainly target
manufacturing plant with production lines and sub workstations.

It uses 4 infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor.

The infrared sensors are used to detect the pathway and ultrasonic

sensor is used to detect the object in real time to maintain accurate

position and avoid obstacles.

The robot communicates through the wireless network

The robot automatically returns to its starting point.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

The robot uses X-Bee for wireless communication

The robot can sent or requested using a Lab View application.

The robot can identify the target coordinates and follow the path to

reach the required target; the computer will enter the coordinates. The
computer would also display the robots current coordinates and the
robot used wireless communication to give inputs to the robot.
