Development of an internet controlled surveillance mobile robot.

Weekly report

Week 8

This week is exam week. Stop doing the project for awhile, and only concentrate on the exam.

Week 9

After the exam end, continue collecting some data and information for the presentation on semester three. The first things are listing the objectives in the project. Second is the motivation of the project. Third is doing some literature review. Then, listing the method that use in the project and experimenting result. Finally is preparing for the whole conclusion of the project.

Week 10

This week is the trimester break. For the time being is use to analyzing the code that use to move the robot. By understanding it, gives an advantages to modify the code.

Then start to understand TGS 2600 sensor (detection of air contaminants) circuit. Try to modify some of the original coding so that the sensor can display some information on the LCD. Modifying the coding is not an easy task, this is because, the availability of the PIC pin. But due to the circuit the PIC pin for RA0 for Ultrasonic sensor not been used so the RA0 is available to use. Whether it work or not depends on the experiment next week. All the information for the sensor is from the DIY project PR15 which also use TGS 2600 sensor (detection of air contaminants) but with different PIC.

Week 11

Prepare the slide for the presentation. Collecting all the information needed .Do some experiment so the robot worked well in the presentation especially for the line follow mode which very sensitive to the floor color. Examine the ability of the robot to work with different floor color. After finish the experiment, the robot only detects the line if the line is black/blue-black, but the floor color does not affect the robot to follow the line.
