Material Handling Robot with Obstacle Detection

Abstract

The Material Handling Robot refers a type of system that can be used in production as well as in other industries etc. This system includes a battery operated remote sensing locomotive (carrier) on which a small lift is provided, specific path over which it moves, sensors for sensing the the obstructions on the path of the carrier. Also sensors for sensing exact positions from where load wants to carry and to where. The Material Handling Robot moves using the electric power from the battery. It moves with a low and constant speed on the prescribed path. The path has a specific colour (black). The bottom of the carrier have sensor which is always coupled with the path. The steering is done by the path. The front side of carrier vehicle contains sensors for sensing the obstructions on the path. As it reaches the unloading station, it is stopped and unloading of the material is done at that station. And move to collecting stations again. Continues working cycles for making this project a reality. By this the there is ease in transporting materials or finished products from one work station to the other.
