FOOD SERVING ROBOT

Aim

The aim of the project is to build a robot which serves food.

Problem statement

We all love to eat our favourite food. Now imagine a robot serving food for us. Interesting? We have developed many robots for various purposes, so why not food serving? This can be implemented during functions which requires a good amount of manpower. The robot moves in a line to each and every guest and serves the food that they like.

Material used

Input: 2 IR Proximity Sensors
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Motor Driver
Battery: Lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Component description
IR PROXIMITY SENSOR

The function of IR proximity sensor is to detect the line and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board). 

MOTOR DRIVER

The function of the motor driver is to move the robot.

TinkerSpace Brain Board

TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity Sensors and control the Motor driver.

Battery

5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project

Working description

Left sensor                      Right sensor                           Robot action
1 (No line)                       1 (No line)                               Forward
0 (Line)                            1 (No line)                               Left
1 (No line)                       0 (Line)                                   Right
0 (Line)                            0 (Line)                                   Stop

Circuit Design (DesignSpace)

Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace

Step 2: Connect 2 IR Proximity to INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 of the Brain board.

Step 3: Connect the Motor driver to the Output 3 of the Brain Board.

Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
