ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to fabricate a robotic trolley for material handling in industries. In this project a robotic vehicle is fabricated which runs like a car by carrying tools from place to another. This is done by using a small sensor. The trolley will stop when the trolley is unloaded.
INTRODUCTION
Mobile robots have capability to move around in their environment and not fixed to one physical location. In contrast, industrial robots usually consist of a joint arm (multilinked manipulator) and gripper assembly (or end effecter) that is attached to a fixed surface.
Mobile robots are the focus of a great deal of current research and almost every major university has one or more laboratory that focuses on mobile robot research. Mobile robots are also found in industries; military and security environments. They also appear as consumer products, for entertainment or to perform certain tasks like vacuum.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The sensor is connected at the bed of the vehicle. This is used to check
the load in bed. The motor is connected with the wheel arrangement with the help of the spur gear.
When the first user keep the tools in this vehicle the trolley moves
automatically to the second user.
If the second user took the tools from the trolley the trolley stops with the second user. After that when the second user keeps a tool it moves to the next user. It can be used in industries, hospitals etc.
