PROJECT DEVELOPMENT-WEEK 3 & 4

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Since we are in the week 3, we have to develop the model. We decide to advent the intelligent food distributor robot using the track like in the diagram below rather than using line following that we have decided before because of some modification in our design. So,the project still in under progress.

(Client Request Medium)

1. Button(Bulb)
This type of button is made from simple a switch where it is connected to a bulb. By assuming the use of light sensor, the sensor attached to the robot will sense the light as white spot as the rest of the track is black. Whenever the client switches on the bulb, the robot that as is in movement will stop at particular spot (light on) and distributes the food.

2. Slide Card
This idea is the degrading version of Bulb Button where the light sensor is detecting the white card as the client slot the card under the track upon requesting the food.

3. Infrared Button.
This Button is quite advanced in its class where the receiver in the robot will detect the signal sends by transmitter when the client pushes the button.

4. Remote Control
The same concept as infrared Button and the different is instead of button, it will portable like remote controller.

5. Bluetooth Phone
The idea of this medium is enable client to request upon pressing his/her hand phone.
