This project was carried out to develop an optimum circuit design and software algorithm which can be used to participate in the 2014 MIROC Robotics Competition. The said circuitry and algorithm will be implemented onto a robot which have been designed and fabricated with the help of colleagues from the Mechanical Engineering department. The software algorithm design can be broken into two parts; the navigation algorithm, which controls the movement of the actual robot, and the motor control algorithm, which provides for stability. The motor control algorithm is developed by using DC motor control theory, which involves determining the motor's mechanical and electrical parameters.Upon the completion of mechanical fabrication, circuit design and parameter extraction, the process of developing the navigation algorithm begins. This algorithm is designed using an iterative design model, whereby the program is continually tested and improved. The metric that is used to assess the algorithm's success are movement stability, consistency and accuracy.
