Project Presentation:

Our goal is to develop a stair climbing robot which can climb stairs and uneven surfaces.

Aprroach:

Our first approach was to find out various wheel shapes that can make it easier to climb stairs or uneven surfaces. Then we researched on the internet and assimilated appropriate resources that are required for the success of this project.

Purpose and use:

The stair climbing robot can efficiently climb stairs or uneven surfaces which makes it cabable for search and rescue operations during earthquakes or other natural calamities, where human life can be in danger.Also if more advancements is done on the design, like using more powerful motors or stronger chasis, this robot can be used for carrying heavy objects in rough terrain.

Challenges:

Our major challenges are:

to finalise the shape of the wheel.
to devise a proper mechanism that with minimal error can tread on any surface.
Make this project with minimum resourses like aurdino, motor etc.

Components to be used:

3D printed Wheels
313 RPM HD Precision Planetary Gear Motor
three 24 Tooth, 32 Pitch, 1/4 inch Bore Pinion Gears
three 72 Tooth, 32 Pitch, 1/2 inch Bore Aluminum Gears
Aurdino Chip
The BLE Shield
The PWM Circuit
Chain and sproket
Nut, Bolts, Shafts and other spares

Skills to be used:

We will be making 3D CAD model using solidworks, then getting wheels maunufactures on 3D printers also machining work will be needed on body and finally Aurdino programing needs to be done.
