Design and Development of a Mobile Robotic Vehicle

Abstract

Wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) have garnered significant attention due to their versatility, efficiency, and applicability across various domains. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the advancements, challenges, and future directions in the field of WMRs. It covers topics ranging from design considerations and locomotion mechanisms to sensing techniques, control strategies, and real-world applications. Additionally, it discusses emerging trends, research gaps, and opportunities for exploration in the realm of WMRs. The goal of this research is to design and expand a robotic car that could bring a minimal weight of 5 kg from one station to some other by using the concept of automation. In this mission, the automobile follows the path supplied to the automobile, and various stations are mounted in that direction. Microcontroller AT89c52 is used as a crucial element, to which all of the other components are related. The designed car is controlled via station buttons which are set up at the car. On detecting an impediment, the robotic stops and once more begin to operate when an impediment is removed. A mixture of 5 sensors is connected to the robotic automobile among which four are IR sensors and 1 flame sensor is used.
