IR Robot Buggy Mechatronics Robotic Project - University of Manchester EEE

The aim of this Mechatronics project is to develop the manual characteristics of a childs ride-on buggy to be automatically achieved in a self-contained robotic system. The task is to integrate the relevant mechanical and electrical elements needed to achieve automatic movement and control. This will allow the system to finally sense and self-navigate autonomously in order to follow an infrared source emitter. The buggy is effectively an automated robot designed to track and follow the operator.

The system has been implemented to receive infrared light from a hand-held transmitter, via receivers positioned on the front bumper of the buggy. An algorithm controlled by the microcontroller was written to calculate the direction and distance to the target that is the transmitter. This in turn provided the relevant control to the motor drive systems, and steering systems to track the buggy in the corresponding direction to infrared light source in a controlled manner.

Hi! I'm interesting bout yr project system. Actually i'm going to do final year project... I need yr information to achieve this automatic following system for my FYP... My project title is Solar- cell RF remote control car... Just need your help to add some feature on my solar remote control car. Erm...! May i knw what type of the infrared transmitter and receiver are you using? What is the FULL NAME and MODEL of the infrared transmitter and receiver... ??? Waiting for yr reply... Thank ...^^
