GatorVac M. Gabriel Jiva
Purpose The purpose of this robot is to autonomously vacuum a room, and then return to its base.
Devices used IR Sensors Bump switches High-torque servos IR Beacons
IR and Bump GP2D12 sensors Bump switches 10 to 80 cm Analog output to ADC Bump switches
IR Beacons Locate direction of home base 4 IR detectors, 4 IR LEDs, 4 LEDs All controlled by PIC microcontroller Since the detectors are at 90° angles, can extrapolate direction (e.g., NW)
