Grid Tracking For Mobile Robot Navigation

This project was to design and build a Mobile Robot, which is using two drive of DC Motor to move forward, left and right. The drives of DC Motor will determine the position and the orientation of the mobile robot. To move the robot left and right, one of the motor will turn OFF and other will turn ON. 12V direct current is use to make the DC motor turn ON. Rotary encoder sensor is use to detect the grid, position and the orientation of the mobile robot. Every each position of the robot always be Updated by the microcontroller and the current position will display on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Motor controller, sensor detecting and position calculation will be control by the Microcontroller. This project will use a 16F877A PIC as a microcontroller. This project will combine the electrical and the mechanical path.
