| Summary: | Mobile robots are already widely used for surveillance, inspection and transportation
tasks. An emerging technology with enormous potential is the entertainment mobile
robot. Sony Corporation has developed a Sony dog known as Sony's Aibo that
cannot speak but can chase a ball, lie down, sit and wag its tail. The robot must
operate in a safe and friendly manner, avoiding obstacles and posing no risk to
human in its vicinity. The scenario in Malaysia is that not many entertainment
mobile robot has been developed because generally, Malaysians are content with
their role as a user rather than a developer . In order to achieve the objectives of the
"Vision 2020", Malaysia should produce more scientists and developers in various
areas. The best and most effective way of learning and stimulating interest in
entertainment robot is through contests. Therefore, Sirim Berhad and the Ministry of
Education have organized the Robot Games Festival or Robofest 2002 to encourage
researchers, lecturers and students to design and develop robotic systems.
The main objective of this project is to design and develop an entertainment mobile
robot that can place as many beach balls as possible into the cylinder tubes within 3 minutes. |
