      Mobile Robot - Fouad Sabry

      Chapter 1: Mobile robot

      A robot that is able to move about its environment and interact with it is known as a mobile robot (locomotion).

      Mobile robots are not confined to a single physical place and have the capacity to roam freely within the area in which they operate. Mobile robots have the potential to be autonomous (also known as AMR, which stands for autonomous mobile robot), which indicates that they have the ability to navigate an uncontrolled environment without the need of any physical or electro-mechanical guiding equipment. Industrial robots, on the other hand, are typically immobile and comprise of a gripper assembly (also known as an end effector) and a jointed arm (also known as a multi-linked manipulator). Both of these components are coupled to a stationary surface. It's a joint.

      In recent years, mobile robots have seen increasing use in a variety of commercial and industrial situations. Since many years ago, hospitals have been moving goods with the assistance of autonomous mobile robots. The effective movement of commodities from stocking shelves to order fulfillment zones is made possible by mobile robotic devices that have been placed in warehouses. Mobile robots are also a significant focus of contemporary research, and almost all of the world's most prestigious educational institutions have at least one lab devoted to the study of mobile robots. Mobile robots are also used in the military and in industries such as manufacturing and security.

      A controller, a set of sensors, a set of actuators, and a power supply are the elements that make up a mobile robot. Actuators are often understood to relate to the motors that are responsible for the movement of the robot, which may be wheeled or legs. Instead of an AC power source, mobile robots often make use of DC power supplies, which take the form of batteries.

      Mobile robots may be categorized as follows:

      The conditions of the terrain on which they travel:

      The term Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is often used to refer to land or household robots (UGVs). They have wheels or tracks the most of the time, however there are also legged robots that have two or more legs (humanoid, or resembling animals or insects).

      Robots that specialize in delivery and transportation are able to transport goods and supplies all across a workplace.

      Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (often abbreviated as UAVs) are another name for aerial robots (UAVs)

      The common name for robots that operate underwater is autonomous underwater vehicle (AUVs)

      Polar robots are meant to traverse terrain that are icy and loaded with crevasses.

      The primary means by which they move is represented by:

      Legged robot: human-like legs (i.e. an android) or animal-like legs.

      a robot with wheels

      Tracks.

      There are numerous different methods of mobile robot navigation, including the following:

      A manually teleoperated robot is one that is driven by a person using a joystick or another kind of control device. This person has complete control over the robot. The device might be one that is directly hooked into the robot; alternatively, it could be a wireless joystick; moreover, it could be an attachment to a wireless computer or another controller. The primary purpose of a teleoperated robot is to remove the human operator from potentially hazardous situations. Foster-Talon, Miller's iRobot's PackBot, and KumoTek's MK-705 Roosterbot are some examples of manual remote robots. Robotics Design's ANATROLLER ARI-100 and ARI-50 are further examples of manual remote robots.

      A robot with guarded tele-op has the capacity to detect and steer clear of obstructions, but other than that, it will move in the same manner as a robot with manual tele-op control. Mobile robots that solely provide guarded tele-op are quite uncommon. (For a discussion of sliding autonomy, see below.)

      Mobile robots that followed lines were among the early examples of automated guided vehicles, often known as AGVs. They might follow a line that is painted on the floor or ceiling, has been implanted in the floor or ceiling, or is an electrical wire that is embedded in the floor. The majority of these robots used a simple algorithm known as maintain the line in the center sensor. They were unable to maneuver around impediments, so if anything stood in their way, they just halted and waited for it to pass. There are still several firms, like Transbotics, FMC, Egemin, and HK Systems, who sell examples of cars that fit this description. These kinds of robots are still quite popular among members of well-known robotic organizations as an entry-level means of gaining experience in the ins and outs of the field of robotics. The in-depth design of low-cost, high-speed line following robots is something that is taken into consideration here.

      Robots with autonomous motion and random motion tend to bounce off of walls, regardless of whether or not such obstacles are perceived.

      An autonomously guided robot has at least some knowledge about its current location and the path it must take to achieve the different objectives and checkpoints it has set for itself along the route. Localization, also known as the knowledge of its present location, may be estimated using one or more methods, making use of sensors such motor encoders, vision, stereopsis, lasers, and global positioning systems. Positioning systems often establish the location and orientation of a platform by using techniques such as triangulation, relative position, and/or Monte-Carlo/Markov localization. With this information, the platform is able to plan a route to its subsequent waypoint or target. It is able to collect sensor readings that are marked with both the time and place at which they were taken. These types of robots are often integrated into the wireless corporate network and interfaced with various other sensing and control devices located around the facility. For instance, the PatrolBot security robot handles alarms, runs elevators, and communicates any incidents that occur with the command center. The SpeciMinder and the TUG delivery robots are two examples of additional autonomously guided robots now in use in hospitals.

      Sliding autonomy is a navigational technology that allows for various levels of navigation to be combined in more competent robots. The majority of robots that can navigate on their own, such as the one used in hospitals and called HelpMate, also include a manual mode that enables a human to take control of the robot. Full sliding autonomy is provided by the Motivity autonomous robot operating system, which is used in a variety of robots including ADAM, PatrolBot, SpeciMinder, and MapperBot. This system can switch between manual, guarded, and autonomous modes as needed.

      Chapter 2: Robot

      A device that can carry out a complicated sequence of operations on its own without human intervention is known as a robot. Robots are often programmable by a computer. Either an external control device or an internal control that is incorporated inside the robot itself may be used to direct it. Even
