Robot de batalla de 12 libras para competencia con comunicación inalámbrica

Abstract

This project for the degree diploma, has the steps and necessary components to be applied in the construction of a twelve-pound battle robot, having in mind the different categories from the Ecuadorian Robotics Contest (CER in Spanish) for competition in national events. The students of Electronic Engineering of the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana in Quito Will be able to use this project as a starting point for further models. The aim is to test the level of development of the Battle robot within the contests and its category. The structural design, the electronic design and the mechanical part are going to be tested, which means, the result will be a robot prototype very resistant. In addition, the test is going to evaluate the prototype´s performance giving damage and dodging the opponent’s attacks. The prototype proposed as a battle robot contains several essential elements for proper operation in combat, these elements being a pair of 12 VDC motors with voltage boosters for higher speed, two 40 amp H-bridges for gait control, an ESP32 microcontroller with wireless control via MAC address with a PS3 controller, finally the weapon has a brushless motor with a 30 amp ESC. The modeling of the robot's structure and its weapon were done with Autodesk FUSION software, a program that allows a simple interface for the machining of each part. The nylon weapon has aluminum plates to cause greater damage and the stainless steel structure to give the robot robustness when receiving hits.
