Description
Summary:This thesis is an autonomous mobile robot capable of performing loading, transporting, item classification by weight and stacking. A forklift is present at the front end of the mobot to enable it to carry the boxes from the loading bay to specific locations. These specific locations are the stacking bays and serve as the destination of the mobile robot. Based on the detected weight of the load being carried, the system should be able to determine in which stacking bay it should go to. In addition to this, the system should be able to distinguish whether to stack the load onto the existing assemblage or begin a new one. System intelligence is achieved through the adaptation of various sensor circuits integrated with an application program. Sensor circuits employed in the system include pressure, infrared and ultrasonic. Components such as DC and stepper motors are also incorporated in the system enabling the mobot to maneuver as it is programmed to."
