Wall-Following Robot Design

This wall-following robot design showcases the integration of mechanical and electronic components, optimized for precision and efficiency. The chassis and all supports are meticulously crafted from acrylic sheets, which are precisely cut using laser CNC technology. These components are then assembled using screws and spacers, resulting in a robust and lightweight body. 🟠 Key Features: 🟩 Power System: The robot is powered by an Arduino Mega, ensuring reliable control and processing capabilities. A LiPo battery serves as the primary power source, offering a compact and high-energy solution. 🟩 Locomotion: The robot's wheels are driven by stepper motors, providing precise and controlled movement essential for wall-following applications. 🟩 Sensor Integration: To maintain optimal distance from walls and avoid obstacles, the robot is equipped with three Sharp IR sensors. One sensor is positioned at the front, while the other two are placed on the right and left sides. 🟩 Lighting System: Enhancing the robot's aesthetics and functionality, LEDs are installed at the back to serve as signal and brake lights. These lights activate during turning maneuvers and when the robot slows down, mimicking the behavior of a real car. This design exemplifies a comprehensive approach to robotics, combining mechanical engineering with advanced electronics to achieve a functional and visually appealing wall-following robot.
