4.1 Introduction
The advent of automation and robotics has revolutionized various industries, enabling
increased efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. In recent years, there has been a
growing emphasis on the development of advanced robotic systems with capabilities such as
artificial intelligence (AI) and GPS-based guidance. These systems are designed to provide
autonomous and adaptable solutions for a wide range of applications. One such area that has
gained significant attention is the development of an automated robotic chassis with AI and
that can navigate and perform various tasks in dynamic and unpredictable environments.
Traditional robotics systems often have limited mobility and are unable to adapt quickly to
changes in their surroundings. This limitation hampers their ability to efficiently navigate
a result, there is a need to develop a robotic chassis that combines AI capabilities with GPS-
based guidance to overcome these limitations and provide a more efficient and intelligent
solution.
In industrial settings, the adoption of automated robotic chassis with AI and GPS-
based guidance systems can bring numerous benefits. Firstly, these systems can significantly
transportation, sorting, and distribution. The integration of AI enables the robotic chassis to
make intelligent decisions regarding route optimization, obstacle avoidance, and task
prioritization. This, in turn, minimizes downtime and enables a smooth and streamlined
workflow.

Furthermore, the use of GPS-based guidance systems allows the robotic chassis to
accurately navigate complex layouts and environments. The reliance on GPS data provides
real-time information about the positioning, movement, and trajectory of the chassis, enabling
it to adapt to changes in the environment and optimize its path accordingly. This not only
increases efficiency but also reduces the risk of collisions and accidents, thereby enhancing
overall safety in industrial settings. Additionally, automating material handling processes with
an AI and GPS-based robotic chassis also results in cost savings. The implementation of these
systems reduces the labor-intensive aspects of material handling, leading to lower labor costs
and increased productivity. Moreover, the ability of the robotic chassis to intelligently
optimize routes and minimize energy consumption further contributes to cost savings, making
robotic chassis with AI and GPS-based guidance systems pose several challenges. These
include the need for robust and reliable AI algorithms, accurate GPS positioning and
navigation, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure and systems. Addressing
these challenges is crucial to ensuring the successful adoption and widespread utilization of
these systems.
chassis holds significant promise for revolutionizing material handling processes in various
industries. The combination of AI capabilities and GPS data empowers the chassis with
optimize routes, and automate tasks. The potential benefits of increased efficiency, improved
safety, and cost savings make the development of such systems a compelling proposition for

chassis with AI and GPS based guidance system. In this design, a prototype of the guidance
system is developed and tested in a controlled environment, one group equipped with the
proposed warning system and a control group without it. The chassis navigated along a
predetermined route while its speed, distance from other objects, and any speed adjustments
were monitored. Researchers also recorded any obstacles or near misses. The behavior of the
robotic chassis with the warning system was observed and measured throughout the
experiment. Collected data was analyzed using statistical software to evaluate the

TESTING
The researchers used the Test-Retest Method of Reliability. The researchers used a
distance and surface variations-based test for measuring the reliability and accuracy of
the system at different distances, from a meter up to 5 meters. The system's reliability
depended on whether the system transmitted a visual warning in a given space, with a

This test is a distance-based test for measuring the reliability and accuracy of the
system at different distances, from a meter up to 5 meters. The system's reliability depended
on whether or not the system transmitted an audible warning at a given space, with a distance
of not more than 5 meters. This testing tests the accuracy and reliability of the variation of
surfaces.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The system will be mounted on a bicycle, and upon approaching an oncoming vehicle
within the warning zone, which is within 3 meters, the buzzer will generate an audible alert
and the red LED will light. The system will not operate if the vehicle is within the safe zone
or 4 meters and above. And the green LED light will remain.
The distance traversed within the warning zone, critical zone, and safe area will be
