Path tracing capability. This mobile platform is an open system with lots of features can be included. Controller is based on a 486DX Intel processor main board with controlling program written in C language. Platform base is made of PVC with aluminium reinforcement. It had one DC driver motor with 270 degree manueverbility using stepper motor.
Motor is fully control using H-bridge amplifier.
Direction and speed control on the driver wheel is feedback using IR detectors. IO ports are obtained from one homebuilt ISA cards which can expand to 4 Bi-directional ports. Each ports can be expand upto 16 IOs. All these IO is use for sonar sensing, IR detectors for speed and directional, wheel homing detectors,manipulated arm, battery management sensor and extra sensors for future upgrades. The motor driver had force feedback capability to have on-the fly parametric change to suit the current new environment.
