Mobile Platform
AgriRobot: Design and Construction of an Autonomous Ground Vehicle
Project Demonstration & Prototype
Technical Overview & Mechatronic Engineering
This project covers the structural development and embeded hardware layout of the autonomous mobile base. Designed to cross rough agricultural landscapes, the platform features high-torque propulsion, an adaptive mechanical suspension system, and a robust dual-layer processing topology.
Mechanical Architecture
- Chassis & Mobility: Heavy-duty steel structural skeleton featuring an pivoting joint mechanism to keep all four wheels grounded on uneven fields.
- Actuation & CAD: SolidWorks simulated traction subsystem powered by geared DC motors coupled with quadrature encoders for reliable odometry.
Electronics & Low-Level Control
- Processing Units: An STM32 microcontroller manages microsecond real-time control and motor PWM loops, linked via UART to a Raspberry Pi main host.
- Power Distribution: Integrated Lithium-Ion battery bank managed by a customized BMS with dedicated optical isolation to protect signal routing.
