Abstract
This thesis is concerned the design and fabrication of the pre-programming autonomous robot. The aim of the thesis is to make machines by hand from design to
construction, to compete in the Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2005. The title of the Robot Contest 2005 is Climb on the Great Wall to light the holy fire. The autonomous robot must be move automatic without the control of the operator. The robot has to move from starting zone to the torch to shoot the ball into the torch. In order to move to the torch, the robot must able to turn 90 degree and move in straight line. The robot is an embedded system, which means that it integrates hardware and software in its design and operation. The hardware includes the entire structure of the robot, motors, wheel, BASIC Stamp Controller, and other component. The software is the BASIC Stamp program that use to control the step moving and shooting of the robot. The robot’s hardware only uses light materials. The weight of the robot is less than 10kg. The size of the robot is less than 50cm x50cm and height is less than 150cm when start, and less than 200cm when moving. The power supply use by the robot is only 24 VDC.
