Mechanical Design Able to support the weight Special design of sensor house Keeps our circuits safe

Design Overview Electrical Design Features 3 Major modules, 3 Major challenges overcome Controller Emitter/Sensor Actuator

Block diagram

Sensor Our sensors uses infrared sensors Advantages -Cheap -Available -Proven -Simple Other solutions -Ultrasound -Modules such as the Sharp GP2D02

Controller We are using the PIC16F876A microcontroller from Microchip Advantages -Meets our processing requirements -Cheap ($3.40 US) -Easy to use in a prototype Other solutions - FPGA, web camera, HC11

Actuator Consist of only one driving IC L298 Advantages -Simple controlling circuits -Cheap controlling circuits -Many distributors Other solutions -Stepper motor

Programming Design Programming Design Features The brain of our robot is a PIC16F876A –Interpret the sensor data and determine the position of the user –Check the distance from the user –Control the motor movements by output the correspond signal to the motor driver for a determined period
