Robot Motion Follower with Image Processing

Another idea for a motion following robot. This Robot brings a wireless camera to transmit real time video data to a computer. The computer is programmed with an image processing algorithm that detect the direction/motion of captured object. It will then command the robot to move to follow the object whereever it goes.


This Robot consist of:
1. Circular plate chassis
2. 2 servo motors
3. 2 plastic tyres and 1 ball caster
4. Controller using AVR microcontroller
5. Wireless camera
6. Wireless data transceiver YS1020UA
7. Mobile phone/GSM modem SIM300C
8. Batery pack 6V







The image processing algorithm developed by matlab and compiled to C++. The microcontroller program developed using Code Vision AVR.

Fire Fighting Robot

This is a popular type of robot in many contest, a Fire Fighting Robot! The purpose is to find the fire/candle, blow it off, and sometime also have to find/rescue the baby. The field area consists of many rooms, stairs and sometime with many obstacles.

The main parts of this robot are:
1. Plate chassis from aluminium
2. 3 servo DC motors (1 for turret)
3. Wheels: 2 active & 1 passive
4. Controller using ATMega microcontroller
5. Some Ping ultrasonic ranging sensors
6. UVTron flame sensor
7. Devantech Magnetic Compass
8. Brushless Fan turret to blow the fire/candle
9. Batery pack 6V






The robot activated by sound/switch from home location. It senses fire/flame direction then search the room where the candle is placed. It will blow the fire and back to home location. The program done in C using CodeVision AVR.

Tank Robot Controlled By Mobile Phone

Another mobile robot! A tank robot which is activated, controlled, and report to a mobile phone. The communication can use direct CSD (Circuit Switch Data) and SMS (Short Message Service). In the next step, it will also use video call. So, remote controlling can be done in very long distance and more sophisticated way.

The main parts of this robot are:
1. Chassis from tamiya tank
2. 2 DC motors
3. DC motor driver using H-bridge
4. Controller using AT89S51 microcontroller
5. Ping ultrasonic ranging sensor
6. SHT11 temperature & humidity sensor
7. Mobile phone/GSM modem SIM300C
8. Batery pack 6V







This robot activated and deactivated via SMS command. It use its ranging sensor to adjust movement. Real time data of temperature and humidity and also some other report are sent to user via SMS or CSD. The program done in Basic using Bascom8051.

Robot with Wireless Color Camera

Need a spy robot that give your laptop an eye and information about remote environment condition? You also will need to control and get those all data wirelessly. This is a project about that.

The main parts of this robot are:
1. Chassis from remote control car toy (4WD)
2. 2 DC motors for wheel
3. DC motor driver using H-bridge
4. 1 mini stepper motor to rotate camera
5. Stepper motor driver using 2803
6. Controller using ATTiny2313 microcontroller
7. Wireless color camera
8. Transceiver 433 MHz
9. Radio AV Receiver
10. Batery pack 9V



This robot get real time view from wireless camera, and controlled via laptop . The control actions include moving forward, backward, turn left, turn right, rotate camera (cw and ccw) . The distance between robot and control station (laptop) depend on the max distance of tranceiver which is 100 m in this project. The program done in C using CodeVision AVR for microcontroller and Visual Basic for user interface in laptop.

Legged Robot Hexapod

This is a project to make six leg robot (hexapod bot). Legged Robot has higher difficulty level of design and programming than wheel robot. Hexapod bot imitate the structure and movement of insects.

The main parts of hexapod bot are:
1. Chassis
2. 12 servo motor 180 degree (2 servo/leg)
3. Controller based on AVR 8535 microcontroller
4. Battery pack 6V DC.

Beside that, range sensors such as ultrasonic or infra red could be attached to the robot to have more sophisticated function of robot in the real application.


In this project, the hexapod bot do a simple maneuver/movement, moving forward, turn left, turn right .

The program done by C language using Code Vision AVR.

Wheel Robot with Ranging Sensor

Do you usually take a walk in the morning with your dog beside you? Do you want something cool? What about a robot follow behind you?

This is a project about Robot that have four wheel (4WD) that have capability to response based on ultrasonic ranging sensor.

That main parts of the robot are:
1. Wheel, motor and chasis, taken from 2 Tamiya toys
2. Robot controller based on microcontroller AT89S52
3. Parallax PING ultrasonic ranging sensor
4. Stepper motor to rotate "the ultrasonic eye"
5. Stepper motor driver based on 2803A
6. DC motor driver based on L293

Robot will try to find object in 30 cm. The robot then will follow (keep the 30 cm distance) to the first object found. So if I give my hand close to the robot than it will move based on the position of my hand (as long as I move my hand slowly).

The program done by assembly language.
