This project focuses on the design and manufacture of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) equipped with a five-axis robotic arm.
The system integrates both mechanical and electronic components, enabling remote operation via Bluetooth control.
- Design and build a Bluetooth-controlled robot rover based on a custom controller.
- Program motion control and communication using C / C++.
- Implement PWM-based motor control to regulate speed and direction.
- Motor Drive Circuit: Converts PWM signals into voltage signals to control motor speed and direction.
- Bluetooth Module: Enables wireless communication between the controller and rover.
- Controller: Sends PWM signals to each of the six motors using a dual-channel drive module.
A five-axis 3D-printed robotic arm powered by Arduino, capable of recording and replaying movements.
- Servo Control: Five servos are controlled by PWM signals (channels 12–16), defining rotation angles for each joint.
- PWM Controller: Distributes PWM signals to both the arm and rover for coordinated motion.
- Record & Playback: Enables movement sequences to be stored and replayed for repeated tasks.
- Custom CAD modeling and 3D printing of structural components.
- Integration of the robotic arm with the rover chassis.
- Emphasis on modularity for easy maintenance and upgrades.
- PWM-based motor driver circuit for speed and direction control.
- Separate control channels for rover movement and arm articulation.
- Integration with Bluetooth module for wireless command input.
