Development of a multitasking mobile robot for the construction of educational robotics kits

Abstract

This article aims to develop the design and implementation of a six wheeled multitasking mobile robot, built with electronic garbage and easy to obtain materials for the viability of educational kits to be used for teaching robotics in schools or colleges. This educational kit is based on the PIC16F628A microcontroller, actuators (dc motors for movement and accomplishing tasks) and sensors (responsible for the interaction with the external environment). An important feature of this prototype lies in the fact that the recording of the program on the microcontroller is made directly on the motherboard itself making it easy to reprogram and test it without the needing to remove any components.
