Localisation And Navigation Of Mobile Robot

Now a day’s android phone are becoming more and more popular because of more number of applications and good storage area. The Bluetooth based robotic car uses communication in Bluetooth frequency range. One of the android phone application “Bluecontrol” is used to set up a connection and to let the phone to communicate with the Bluetooth module on the robotic car. This Bluetooth module receives data/command from mobile phone and send these commands to the microcontroller 8051 to make the car to move forward/ backward and to turn left or

Many people think of robots as metal machines that come in various shapes and sizes; not machines that look and act in such ways like a human. Robots and other alike machines are widely used across the globe. In factories, schools, homes, hospitals… Whilst technology grows, the need for these complex machines becomes much greater. These machines are able to perform tasks at a much greater speed, accuracy, and complexity compared to manual labor.

— Elderly people suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer meet with a progressive cognitive decline making them experience hardship in performing their everyday conventional activities especially in their outdoor navigation as they tend to forget landmarks even in familiar environments due to gradual decline in their memory and thinking abilities. Hence, disorientation and wandering become common issue. Providing assistive guidance to the elderly people in their outdoor mobility has become a challenging task for caretakers and family members as most of the elders prefer to live independently. Thus, there arises a need for efficient solutions that can monitor the elderly people movements and notify the caretakers in the event of disorientation or wandering being detected.

The main point of my work is to build up a programmed wheelchair that could push ahead, in reverse, left, right with snag recognition in its way. The general structure of this work is to give immense support to physically disabled individual who can't explore from their places. A wheelchair comprises of accelerometer sensor as detecting component, a microcontroller unit a basic leadership gadget and engines to explore the wheelchair. By tilting accelerometer sensor wheelchair can be moved in four headings. The wheelchair is connected with IR sensors to deterrent discovery. Obstruction in the way is dictated by wheelchair and wheelchair will stop naturally. In biomedical field, a wheel-chair for a crippled person is a critical gadget to help

In her article, Kathryn Thornton, looks at the future of robotics, as of now robots depend too much on people for commands and repairs, but in the near future that can certainly change, she mainly focuses on explaining the potential that robotic science has and even explain what defines a robot. This article was published by national geographic and has been well researched by the author. This article contains pertinent information on the fairly new field of robotic engineering and what the future may hold for this science. This source shows both the positive and negative effects that robotics could potentially have on our society, the article reinforces the idea of robots being a major future innovation which could potentially save countless

The main purpose of the project is to produce a design of a smart white cane that can sense objects or obstacles and send cautionary signals either by voice commands or vibration; and a GPS system that also gives voice commands for directions. In other words, the ultimate objective is to be able to walk around without being run over or getting lost. The reasons this topic important to a research in the human factor field are as follows:

I thing in the future the technology will be present in every human action, for e.g. when you go to the take a bath, there will be a robot to brush your back, or when you brush your theeth the robot will do it, we are going to call him bathrobot.

With lots of talk revolving around robots in the news, be it from artificial intelligence (AI) driven cars or that they are going to take all our jobs, there is an interesting discussion to be had about it. An article written by the Forrester states that “robots will replace 7% of US jobs by 2025”, it does seem like a large problem, but it is not all bad news. With AI driven cars replacing normal cars on the road and drones taking to the skies, there are many new ways that robots will be able to save lives in the upcoming years that should not be over looked.

This fascinating documentary gives us a glimpse at smart technology that will change the way the world works; technology that will place robots as helpers in the home, connect every human being and cities to the web and can virtually make our dreams come true via advances simulations and entertainment systems.

Nowadays, businesses introduce several appliances to their workforce to ease their daily activities. In the article, “The Job-Killing-Robot Myth”, Baker discusses the different views of the use of robots in industries. He states, “the machines are getting smarter, and they’re coming for more and more jobs.” This demonstrates how robots get trained to perform activities that a usual worker would do. Not only robots finish the job at a fast pace, but they also can execute a whole lot of tasks at once.

For this report a human-machine system had to be chosen to analyse. The chosen product is a mobile phone, more specifically a Nokia 6220 (as pictured below). This product is relevant to this project because it encompasses many of the different topics that will be considered and when

The industrial robots are applied in all branches of the industry. The highest level of application is in the automobile industry, but the number of installed robots is increasing in other industries as well (Karabegovic, Dolecec, Husak, 2011).

Throughout my career at Robert Bosch, I have been exposed to functionality of products like Anti-Lock Braking Systems, Electronic Stability Program, Airbags and other Electronic Control Units. The fact that an average car has 60 different embedded units performing various functions, sharing information over networks like CAN or FLEXRAY, has always amazed me. This exposure has inculcated a passion in me to gain more knowledge in the design and development of embedded systems. I completed my undergraduate degree in Electrical and Electronics. I was motivated to choose this field of study due to a previous attempt at implementing a cell-phone controlled robot that worked on decoding DTMF signals. The choice paid off when after gaining some knowledge about microcontrollers in my first year, I managed to get the robot up and running. The satisfaction gained has always been a motivational factor in my career decisions. I believe my keen interest developed through projects as well as my basic professional experience in the embedded domain will help me actively participate in UCLA 's graduate program in Electrical Engineering, with focus on Embedded Systems.

monitor and appropriately react to variation and uncertainty in their environments. A basic task that every autonomous mobile robot must perform is safely navigating itself from one point to another within its environment. Two key ingredients that help the mobile robot to accomplish this navigation task are motion planning and control. The motion planning deals with the ability of a mobile robot to plan its own motion in its working space, and the motion control concerns with the ability of a mobile robot to follow or track a planned motion. Clearly, as mobile robot applications become more complex, the needs for more efficient and reliable motion planning and control are indispensable.

Right now, our long-awaited army of robotic man servants remains limited to small vacuums. The development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge, including scientific, engineering, mathematical, linguistic, and historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result.
