Building an autonomous maze-navigating robot designed to carry and deliver a payload while avoiding obstacles. The project integrates mechanical design, embedded control, and sensor feedback to demonstrate autonomous navigation in constrained environments.
My Role
Design the gripper mechanism while contributing to chassis to ensure payload stability and smooth operation. Implementing actuator control using PWM signals to coordinate movement and payload delivery.Integrating infrared (IR) sensors for wall detection and obstacle avoidance
Gripper Concepts and Progress
Current Status
The chassis design is nearly finalized, with focus on structural stability and compact form factor. A four-bar linkage solution is being developed for the gripper to provide reliable payload handling. Control code development is underway, integrating actuator control with IR sensor feedback for autonomous navigation
