Theme: Industrial Vehicle

Project (2nd Attempt)

Theme: Industrial Vehicle
Robot Name: Claw Car


Compare to the last attempt for our project, we had decided to do a project based on theme Zoo. However, after some discussion among team members we came to the conclusion to change our theme to Industrial Vehicle, something that more beneficial and attractive.

Actually, our last decision is very limited in its functions. It only can dance and for entertainment purpose only. so, when we choose this theme we find that our robot can do more, have variables functions and beneficial for others.

We generate the ideas for this theme as we looked for the application of Forklift in industrial field which it bring and transfer loads to somewhere else. so, we want our robot to do the same function as forklift.

As analyzing the function of Claw Car is quite similar to the function that we want, so we decided to try out to build Claw Car and see how it is operates.



Functions:

• It has motorized claw controlled by hand controller (remote control).
• Claws will open and close to grab things by using the controller.
• Able to grab object, hold and drop it somewhere else as required.

Limitation:

• Need to use controller in most every movements.

Future Solution:

• Locate some sensors such as Light sensor and Ultrasonic sensor so that the robot will independently detects the objects and do its own movement as programmed.

Any suggestions and comments are welcomed!!!
