NUCLEAR REACTOR ROBOT SIMULATION
What i did
Designed, built, and programmed a robot to autonomously navigate a field and pick up spent “fuel rods” and move them to another location, then replace them with a new rod.
Features
-
Line followers to navigate field
-
Using Bluetooth, the field alerted the robot when a rod needed to be replaced, where the rod was located, and which locations were empty to place a new rod.
-
LCD screen for visual feedback from robot
-
Three wheel drive
-
Four-bar linkage and servo motor for arm actuation. Mechanism has two heights: one for placing rod horizontally and one for picking rod from vertical stand.
-
Rotary potentiometers and PID loop for linkage control
