Design of Mobile Robot with Robotic Arm Utilising Microcontroller and Wireless Communication

The purpose of this study is to design a prototype of a mobile robot equipped with a robotic arm which can be controlled by wireless technology. In this scheme, the mobile robot in the form of 6 Wheel Drive Robot equipped with robotic arm 6 Degree of Freedom and is controlled wirelessly through remote control based on XBee Pro Series 1. Data on the remote sent serially via XBee transmitter, processed on the receiver, and then used as a referen ce to control the robot. The tests on the forward, backwards, turn left, turn right, stop and linear movement of the robot was performed successfully, which elevates the robot deployment potentials.
