Robot Worm
The robot worms that will be built and programmed consist of six segments and a head, with each segment being powered by a DC servo. The segments alternate in orientation so that the first segment in a horizontal motion and the next segment move in a vertical motion. This sequence repeats itself...

| Summary: | The robot worms that will be built and programmed consist of six segments
and a head, with each segment being powered by a DC servo. The segments alternate
in orientation so that the first segment in a horizontal motion and the next segment
move in a vertical motion. This sequence repeats itself for all six segments and the
head. This gives the worm enough flexibility to move its body in a number of
different ways in order to achieve locomotion, in much the same way as a biological
worm. The robot is controlled by a Microchip PIC 16F84 microcontroller. The
microcontroller is used to sequence the movement of each of the worm's body
sections via servos. The microcontroller also monitors an infrared sensor so that the
worm wiH avoid obstacles as it explores. At the end of this project, the robotic worm
is expected to be able to use its segments alternate in orientation so that the first
segment moves in a horizontal motion to move forward and the next segments moves
in a vertical motion to change direction left or right. This gives the robotic worm
enough flexibility to move its body in a number of different ways in order to achieve
locomotion. The robotic worm will avoid obstacles as it explores using the infrared
sensor. |
