Omni Functional Rover for Multi Environments

To design and build a multipurpose robotic vehicle that can move in various environments. i.e.; it can travel in soft surface as well as through rough terrains. An ARM based controller IC LPC2148 is the microcontroller used here. It controls and co-ordinate all the process in very effective, fast and real time way. It basically consists of a group of sensor arrays that can measure various parameters. Which are metal detector, gas sensor and moisture sensor. That is because it can be used for a number of applications like in the areas of agriculture, defence, aerospace, industrial purpose and in rescue operations, etc., the rover also consists of a robotic arm which can used to pick and place the objects. GPS based navigation system is another advantage of the project. The entire system works with the help of solar energy. A 16*2 LCD display and web-camera are interfaced with the microcontroller. Omni directional rotation also provided with in 2D plane. The tracking of the rover is controlled by using Zigbee module with PC
