SWARM ROBOTS
[attachment=41861]
INTRODUCTION
Here there are two robots which are involved in the field and they will communicate their location to each other via zigbee depending upon their location they will decide whether to shoot or not. One robot will be manually controlled by wired connection and other will be autonomous. Both the robot can be configured in either one as manual and autonomous. The robot 2 will be placed in the loop. The robot 2 will have a weapon system which will be rotating continuously in steps by stepper motor. The robot 2 will have an armed turret which will be continuously hitting the enemy sector.
The communication is done using zigbee module. Whenever the manual robot will create an angle with the moving turret structure held on robot 2 it will not shoot. This will be done by knowing the location of both the robots.
Robot 1:-
Remote control for movements for robot 1:
This allows the robotic movement like left, right, forward, backward movements.
Zigbee transreceiver:
-It is the heart of our project which will transmit and receive the location i.e. co-ordinates of robots. It has its own protocol. The name of the transceiver is zigbee developed by zigbee alliance.
Microcontroller:-
The microcontroller used is 89s52. It processes different data. The program written in µc allows us to put forward the logic implementing the project. It provides data pattern which will drives the stepper motor. It will perform the calculation by comparing the location of both the robots and also disallows the robot 2 to shoot.
Motor driver IC:-
The logic level provided by µc cannot drive the stepper motor therefore we make use of driver IC which will convert µc logic levels of +5V to +12V. Therefore we make use motor driver L298 to drive motors.
LCD display:-
This LCD display is used to display the co- ordinates of both the robots. This allows the user to know the exact location of the robot. The display used is 16x2 which is 20 pin IC, when ASCII value of the character is sent to display it will display the location accordingly.
