MDP Project II – Group 05

Group Members:

01) Lokuliyana L.W. D. T. (Leader) EN20402884

A preliminary design of the robot.

In our maze smallest unit is 50cmx50cm square

According to the robot, robot’s dimension: 15cm x 15cm. (with front IR array it is 15cm x 20 cm)

Here we have two suggestions to robot to follow the walls. We can use either sharp IR or Ultrasonic
sensors.
And also, for the Sharp IR if only one is used we have to use a servo motor and it’s same for the
ultrasonic sensor too.
If we use 3 sharp IRs or 3 Ultrasonics for the front, right and left we don’t need to use a servo motor.

Components that are expected to be purchased by the group.

If we must use Sharp IR sensors, we have to buy 3 more or we must use ultrasonic sensors we have to
buy 2 more. All the additional components we currently have on hand are sufficient to build the robot.
