Spiral Cycle Implementation for Designing an All-Terrain Teleoperated Robot in Honduras

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to expose the design of an electronic RF communication system that allows movement control of an all-terrain robot. For the development of this device, a spiral methodology is used, allowing the development and analysis of four stages of the robot. This study starts with RF communication with a microcontroller, implementation of PID control, 2-degree-of-freedom arm control, and field testing. Significant results are obtained in the development of a PI to control the movement of the robot at a maximum distance of 450 meters and autonomy of 2 hours. Finally, it is concluded that the spiral methodology facilitated the planning and execution of the electronic design for the robot. The PID minimized the error between the communication of the user and the robot. The robot could be used to monitor agro-industrial farms in Honduras.
