3. Introduction
 Robots
Mechanical body, computer has its brain.
 Space Robotics
Substitute human activities in space.
 First obstacles for space robot are technical challenges.

4. Objectives
 To design a CAD model of four wheel powered robot.
 To construct a four wheeled drive robot.
 To increase speed of robot.
 To test performance of robot.

5. Robots in space
 Mars exploration robot.
 The Sojourner is a 6-wheeled vehicle of a rocker bogie design which
allows the traverse of obstacles a wheel diameter (13cm) in size.
Fig 1: Sojourner for Mars exploration robot.
 The normal driving power requirement for the micro rover is 10W.

6. Differential drive theory
 Two wheeled robots: Two wheeled robots are harder to balance than
other types because they must keep moving to maintain upright.
Fig 2: Two wheeled robot.

7. Differential drive theory (cont’d)
Three wheeled robot: 3-wheeled
vehicles may be of two types.
Fig 3: Three wheeled robot.
Four wheeled robot: This kind of
robot uses 2 pairs of powered
wheels. Each pair (connected by a
line) turn in the same direction.

wheels.

8. Procedure
Required components
 Arduino UNO
 L293D motor driver
 Four gear motor
 Four Wheel.
 HC 05 Bluetooth module
 Battery
 Chassis
 Connecting wires

9. Procedure (cont’d)
CAD model
 In the CAD model, chassis board have selected which of acrylic plastic
material. In the lower portion of the chassis four wheel have connected
with four gear motor. Gear motor have placed in equal spaced distance.

10. Procedure (cont’d)
Circuit diagram
A battery have been used for power supply. Bluetooth modules Tx, Rx pin
have been connected to arduino’s Rx, Tx pin respectively. Motor drivers
enable two pin were connected to the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) of
arduino board.

12. Final project

13. Conclusion
In the future, robotics will makes it possible for billions of
people to have lives of leisure instead of the current
preoccupation with material needs.
There are hundreds of millions who are now fascinated by space
but do not have the means to explore it.
For them space robotics will throw open the door to explore and
experience the universe.

14. Conclusion (cont’d)
Scope of future work
 The Sojourner is a 6-wheeled vehicle of a rocker bogie design which allows the
traverse of obstacles a wheel diameter (13cm) in size.
 Each wheel is independently actuated and geared (2000:1). This design is also
similar to Sojourner robot.
 This frame design should climb up to 60 degree bridge with high torque motor.
