Prototipo de robot AGV transportador de materiales con ruedas omnidireccionales

Abstract

The system is based on an Arduino Mega controller and is integrated with a mobile application that allows switching between manual and automatic modes, with visual indicators on an LCD screen. It focuses on the design and development of an automated mobile robot with omnidirectional wheels capable of efficiently transporting materials. These wheels need different control than conventional wheels since their direction must be varied in each one to achieve the robot's movement in one direction. In automatic mode, the robot uses algorithms to follow a line drawn on the ground and avoid obstacles in its path. In this mode, the robot operates autonomously, allowing its use in industrial and logistics environments where transportation without human intervention is required. On the other hand, in manual mode, an operator has full control of the robot and can direct it according to his needs. This is achieved thanks to the mobile application, which makes it easier to handle even in complex environments. A notable feature of this prototype is its robotic arm equipped with servomotors. This arm can grab objects weighing less than 3kg. Once the arm grabs an object, the built-in load cell records the weight and sends this information to the LCD screen.
