AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC SYSTEM: POINT-TO-POINT MOBILE ROBOT

Autonomous robots are defined as robots which can perform desired tasks in unstructured environments on their own without continuous human guidance. Different robots can be autonomous in different ways. The main difference between these robots is the task they have been programmed to do. This project is initiated for educational purpose in order to increase awareness and enthusiasm among students regarding the autonomous robotic system. The first task to ensure this project meet its objective is by doing extensive literature reviews on the subject (autonomous robotic system). Based on the reviews, the general structure and design block (consists of main system and sub-systems) can be constructed. This is referred as the foundation for the project to start with. The scope of study for this project is to focus on theoretical aspects of the system. It divided into several scopes, which are electronics circuitry (for sensors and motors), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming, and some mechanical aspects regard to the physical parts of the robot. These areas are vital in order to develop and implement the theoretical aspects into a working prototype of autonomous robotic system. The project is planned to develop based on the process flowchart approach where every detail of tasks from starting to the end is shown in sequential order. The results on this project mainly present the selection and implementation of prototype sub-systems like locomotion, navigation and control system. The discussions are focus on process and problems occurred during the prototype development. Finally, this project is about fulfilling its objective which primarily is to deliver a working prototype of an autonomous robotic system with the ability to move from one point to another in precise manner

A review of the evidence on the use of ICT in the Early Years Foundation Stage

This report reviewed existing evidence on the potential of technology to support the development of educational policy and practice in the context of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Reference is made to the use of ICT by young children from aged birth to five years and its potential impacts, positive and negative on their cognitive, social, emotional educational, visual and physical development

ROBOTIC LAWN MOWER

The Final Year Project course is designed for students to do research; design and development work in each discipline, to produce practical solutions. It provides opportunity for students to use the tools and techniques of problem-solving by engagement of the project. Under proper guidance of supervisor, the students will shape the direction in the field of interest as a preparation for approaching their desired career path in the near future, as well as gain better understanding of the responsibilities they have to shoulder when they undertake a project. The objective of this project is to produce an automatic robotic lawn mover which is able to cut grass of a specified area of flat land. The first approach to this project is to conduct intensive literature reviews regarding the functions of robots and robotic designs and programming. The Second phase of this project is implementation of the theory to build a functioning robot. The scope of the study would focus on the design and implementation of the robot from scratch. The study is broken down into sub sections, which are electronic circuits, movement mechanism and programming. These subsections are developed and combined until the implementation of the workable robot. In the discussion section, all findings would be discussed in more detail and alternatives are compared as to assure the objectives are met during implementation

MINI-ROBOT VIA WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

 The Emergence Of Nano-Electromagnetic Communications Supported Graphene Nano-Antennas Has Opened New Perspectives For Communications Between Small Things, Referred As To The Web Of MiniThings Or Maybe Because The Internet Of Nano-Things. However, These Antennas Make Use Of The Terahertz Band Which Raises Many Problems Just Like The Absorption Of Entire Range Of The Available Bandwidth By Any Molecule. Meanwhile, Recent Advances Are Made Within The Design And Fabrication Of Mini-Robots Enabling Formation Of Minirobots Networks. Nano-Antennas Are A Stimulating Way Of Communicating Between Mini-Robots. We Envision Two Types Of Bene_Ts Using Integrated NanoAntennas In Mini-Robots. Second, nano wireless communications can create new applications and new applications.This Article Presents A Simulation Framework For Mini-Robots Using Nano-Wireless Communications And An Application Being Developed Within Our Simulator.&nbsp

Wireless fault monitoring of robotic cells using android tablet pcs within automotive production

Published ArticleThis paper presents the work on the development of software for an Android based mobile device. The goal being not only for a working application, but also to optimise the development process to ensure a user friendly application. Android is an ideal platform for connecting man and machine in a fast moving production environment. With its current popularity and market share it allows engineers to easily create flexible software applications to monitor and control industrial processes and machines. This software if not properly designed can lead to stability and maintenance problems. The experience gained from developing, maintaining and improving a mobile application for monitoring production faults, results in the improved response between man and machine. Further on it will be shown how the application can be used for data capturing purposes, thereby simplifying the data capturing process
