Abstract
The Stadium Robot project includes a robotic vehicle equipped with a painting
device with the purpose of automating the activity of marking the football
fields. This system seeks to solve the problems of manual field maintenance
by improving accuracy, lowering workforce costs, and reducing the effective
downtime. It is a robot that is meant to independently draw the lines with appropriate
accuracy while ensuring that the lines are well painted and durable.
The introduction of the robotic figure involved the design of the mobile platform,
development of a complex paint and cleaning system and writing algorithms
for a seamless integration of the systems. The use of an Arduino Mega
microcontroller provided a way to control motors and connect sensors while
the ESP32 module installed, enabled wireless communication. These systems
are combined with a web-page based application that enables operation of the
systems from a remote location and allows tracking in real-time.
The centre points of the project were the design of a device which can draw
the lines on a football field bearing a bear by employing the machine in a fully
automated process and less time is spent on manual work. The robotics design
involves the use of ultrasonic sensors for avoiding unexpected objects. The
results of the project clearly show that, the Stadium Robot is able to carry out
its task of marking the football field autonomously with the help of the lines
painting robot making it a worthy replacement for manual methods of marking
the Field.
