Simple Wired Robot Design Guide

This document provides instructions for designing a simple wired robot. It lists the necessary tools and components, which include batteries, switches, motors, a chassis and wheels. It describes how to assemble the robot mechanically, with the motors coupled to wheels. It explains how to design a remote control using DPDT switches to reverse motor polarity and control forward, backward and turning motions. It provides a circuit diagram and instructions for connecting the motors and power supply to the remote control. It also includes a formula for calculating the robot's speed based on motor rpm and wheel dimensions.

DESIGNING SIMPLE WIRED ROBOT

1. IntroductionThis is a primer project which covers following concepts Power Supply. DPDT switch operation. D.C. Motor. Basic motion of Robot

2. Tools & Components


There are following tools are required for this project Soldering iron Hack saw/ blade Screw drivers Multimeter Pliers Wire stripper Spanner Hammer There are following components are required for this project Battery (6 volt , 4.5 Ah) 1 nos. DPDT Switch2nos. Ribbon wire strip3 meters+ D.C. motor2nos Chassis(having holes for motor) 1 Remote box 1 Metal strip 12 Wheels 2 nos. Castor wheel 1nos Soldering wire as required

3. Procedure1.

PAPER PLANNING:

Before you start making your robot you need a paper plan. Measure length of the motor (excluding shaft), diameter of shaft of the motor, inner hole diameter of the motor. Draw a rough sketch of the base you need to cut keeping in mind the placement of motors and wheels.

2.

Mechanical Assembly

Fit the caster wheel at position show in above diagram with 1.5-2 inches (approx.) screw. Fit the dc motor into the holes of chassis and couple the wheel by using screw or rubber tube.

Coupling motors and wheels


3.

Remote Designing-

Before designing remote we have to learn basic movement of robot which is shown in following table. Movements For moving forward For turning left For turning right Motor1 (left) Motor2(right) Clockwise Off Clockwise Clockwise Anticlockwise Clockwise Off

For moving backward Anticlockwise

To make anti-clockwise motion of motor, the polarity of supply must be inverted of polarity of supply in clockwise motion. For "Polarity Reversal" DPDT switches are generally used. This can be done by using following circuit.

The wire should solder on metal strip not on switches directly (as shown in fig 3). This precaution helps us if there is wrong connection occurs in circuit. So we can change the circuit by changing metal strip position (fig 4). The procedure is shown in figure below-

4. Motor connectionsThere are 4 output wires from remote which is to solder on motor by ribbon wire strip. Switch1's output should connect motor1 and switch 2's on motor2. This means switch1 controls motor 1 and switch 2 controls motor2. Before connecting motor by soldering, the polarity of motor should be check buy giving direct supply from battery.

5. Power SupplyThe rechargeable battery of rating 9 Volt and 4.5 ampere rating should connected with remote switch

4. Speed calculation of robotSpeed of robot can be calculate by following formulaVelocity = circumference * rpm Velocity = diameter * pi * rpm OR Velocity = 2 * radius * pi * rpm The RPM of motor will perfect match with its specification if only is power rating of motor is provide by power supply.
