Description:

This project aims to continue the project, development of a mobile robot, from 2001. This project requires students to address the following issues:

• Wireless data transmission between robot and PC
• Improvement of the existing prototype
• Design, fabrication and integration of a grape cutting-catching mechanism with the existing robot prototype.
• Add encoders to 2 motors for position tracking and control.
• Image processing for grape recognition and 3D location determination
• A trailer to follow the mobile robot all the time for grape storage.
