MECHATRONICS ROBOT

 In the Fall of 2023, I was enrolled in a mechatronics class where students were separated into groups of 4, and each team made a line following robot which completed several tasks along a course. At the end of the semester, a competition was held to see which teams could get the fastest times while completing all objectives. 

My group was able to complete the course and receive full points, which was significant as only 4 out of the 20+ groups were able to achieve such a score. 

The robot was controlled by a PIC24F16KA104 microcontroller, which was programmed in C. The robot utilized servos, voltage regulators, stepper motors, and a variety of IR sensors to complete course tasks. A video of the robot may be seen below.

Overall this course provided valuable experience with microcontrollers, C Programming,  embedded systems, soldering, wiring, and debugging.
