Microcontroller System Design for Robotic Vehicles

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a microcontroller system designed for economic robotic vehicles was presented. The system is consisted of hardware and software design. In the hardware design, the layout of the main control PCB was designed and implemented by the researchers themselves. The software function currently merely specified the obstacles avoiding capability for verifying the design of the integrated system. Performance evaluation was conducted to prove the effectiveness and the response time of this system. The results showed that the vehicle could pass the lane stuffed with obstacles in expected time limit.
