D1- Control system using different sensors.
Introduction
This MO Way robot control system will use at least 3 sensors for the minimum requirement.
The sensors this it will use are Obstacle detection sensor, Black Line sensor and light sensor.
This control system is designed to follow specific instructions almost like a remote control
car so it can be replicated in the real world, however I need to make sure it functions
properly without any major problems so the company MOD can put it into use
First i would like the robot to follow a black line which will be around 2cm thick, I would like
it to follow constantly even around the sharp edges and even if it does not detect anything
the control system will carry on looping until it does.
The next stage of the program will be to use the second sensor to detect obstacles that
come in the robots path, instead of the robot just pushing through the object or going back
the way it came from, i would like the robot to go around the object in a square pattern
without it going to far away from the object or touching it at any point. Once the robot has
completed this stage i would like it to flash/blink the front light so I know this stage is fully
completed.
As soon as both of the stages are completed the robot will carry on following the black line
again and the control system will carry on looping looking for the black line and the object
detection. Of course throughout the creation process i need to make sure the diagram is
easy to understand so i can make adjustments easily if things don’t work out properly and
the detection sensors are in the correct order.
