This project is trying to create a robot that follows a line around a path and along the way picks up rubbish. Then it deposits the rubbish into a main collection bin at the start/end of the circuit.

Parts used

  • Arduino UNO R3 x2 OR
  • L298N DC Motor Driver
  • Motor with T Gearbox
  • Bluetooth modules, the one on the left is 4.0, the on the right is Bluetooth 2.0. The last one is a HC-05 module - A HC-06 module is different because it is only a slave device whereas the HC-05 can be a host or slave device.

Design

Using Fusion 360 we made the chassis for the robot which would hold the motors, Bluetooth modules and Arduino and motor driver. The chassis will be (LASER/CNC)? cut out of plastic (probably acrylic). The walls of the project will be hot glued to each other than to the chassis. The microprocessor (Arduino UNO) will be screwed to the chassis, the Bluetooth module will be blue tacked to the main chassis, the motors will be hot glued to the chassis and the motor driver will be screwed to the chassis.
