Abstract:
The main objective of this project is to give contribution toward the development in the automation era which helps people to do things easier. The automation is a various control system for operating some machine, processes in factory, steering and stabilization of vehicles, and other application that can be controlled without human intervention on the process. The realization of this project is a wheeled drive robot which is capable to travel some distances while bringing some loads on top of the robot. The robot will guided by a GPS (Global Positioning System) and a compass module as the navigator. Furthermore, the robot will be enhanced with some ultrasonic sensor (distance ranging sensor). The ultrasonic/sonar distance sensor and the compass will become function as the eyes for the robot. They will steer the robot to the determined position that is already set by the user. Furthermore, the robot will avoid obstacles which surround it. So, the robot will turn to the right, left, or go straight and backward with the elaboration of sensing components simultaneously. In further research the resulted robot may become one model of the future car designed not only used in industry.
