Abstract

This project involves the design and construction of two fighting robot cars, equipped with a range of sensors and control mechanisms. The primary components include an Arduino Mega, ESP32, four LDR sensors, four SW-520D sensors, a laser sensor coupled with a small servo. The SW sensors detect impacts, reducing the health of the car. The core idea is to simulate a combat scenario between the two robot cars. Key features include: • Movement Control: Utilizing two H-bridges; one for forward and backward motion via DC motors, and another for steering. Additionally, a servo motor (MG995) is installed at the front with a bulldozer blade for physical combat. • Sensing Mechanisms: LDR sensors for detecting laser hits, decreasing the car's health, and SW-520D sensors for impact detection. • Wireless Control: The cars are controlled using the XY app, connected through the ESP32 module. • Additional Features: A laser diode acts as a 'laser gun', and a limit switch adds more interactive elements to the combat scenario. The project demonstrates a blend of mechanical design, electronic circuitry, and software programming, showcasing skills in robotics, sensor integration, and control systems.
