Laboratory mobile double track robot

Abstract

This article describes the design and construction of the mobile double track robot and the development of supporting algorithms, enable leading mobile robot kit for its own trajectory. The robot consists of six smart actuators with time incremental control, wireless webcam Axis 206W and access point ASUS WL - 560g. Four servomotors are used for steering motion control system of the wheels; two are used for camera control in two directions. Controlling the robot is allowed through serial interface RS232. The serial interface is used to transmit control data and setup instructions to the actuators. The system is extended for wireless communication modules, consisting of the radio modems, connectable to the serial port of the personal computer and the radio module Hoft & Wessel.
