Abstract
Nowadays the creations of Automatic Mobile Robot (AMR) model can be found from all over the countries, as it gives many advantages in our lives. It works just like a robot as it is able to sense and response to the environment. Considering that, AMRs should be well developed to optimize its benefits to our own living. The primary objective of the thesis is to design and construct a custom hardware platform capable of automatic navigation and manipulation of coloured boxes. The vehicle incorporates a range of sensors, including cameras, to capture and process visual information in real-time and ultrasonic sensors, this sensor is essential in detecting colored boxes positioned in front of the vehicle, triggering a halt in its movement and activating the gripper mechanism. The computer vision algorithms are developed to detect and identify different coloured boxes, enabling the vehicle to make informed decisions during pick and place operations. In order to realize this goal, a robotic prototype is constructed using MyRio and LabVIEW. The findings of the research demonstrate the successful realization of a robust and efficient automatic ground vehicle capable of accurately detecting, picking up, and placing coloured boxes. The system's performance is evaluated based on metrics such as task completion time, success rate, and overall efficiency. The tasks of material handling, especially in hazardous environments, are made easier with a well-developed AMR to enhance efficiency in the delivery of items, especially at centres for palliative care, the nuclear industry and other hazardous environments. Therefore, this project involves of designing and fabrication of the hardware and circuitry.
