Specifications of the ChefBot's hardware
In this section, we will be discussing some of the important specifications that we mentioned in Chapter 3, Modeling the Differential-Drive Robot. The final robot prototype will meet the following specifications:
- Simple and cost-effective robot chassis design: The robot chassis design should be simple and cost effective compared to existing robots.
- Autonomous navigation functionality: The robot should autonomously navigate and it should contain the necessary sensors for doing this.
- Long battery life: The robot should have a long battery life in order to work continuously. The length of time that it can work should be greater than one hour.
- Obstacle avoidance: The robot should be able to avoid static and dynamic objects in its surroundings.
The robot hardware design should meet these specifications. Let's look at one of the possible ways of interconnecting the components in this robot. In the next section, we will look at a block diagram of the robot and...
