WOW- Wheeled Robot from Junks (On-going design)

WOW- Wheeled Robot from Junks (On-going design)

As a leader of a team, I am tasked to lead our R&D team in building a robot. To commence the work, I and a colleague went to the pile of junks in our store room. Gather some items that I can reuse. Mostly, the items are salvaged from unused educational and laboratory trainers. See the following video shown as the result of gathering all the junks. Put all the pieces together. Eureka! It’s a wheeled robot.


The mechanism is ready. One of the missing parts is the control using Embedded System.

Here are the components of the project I planned to build this robot:
