Perancangan Hardware Robot Avoider Menggunakan Sensor Sharp GP2D12 dan Inframerah Berbasis Mikrokontroler ATMega8535

Abstract

Robot is an integration of complex system that have capability to sense the environment around and give the correct respond based on the implemented artificial intelligence. The sensing capability of the robot need transducer/sensor to apply it, this transducer/sensor is functioning as instrument that convert physical matter into electrical signal. Sensor/transducer have many function depend on the kind. In this firefighting robot which have AMR (autonomous mobile robot) system applied needs sensor/transducer which can sense any physical matter, like distance (proximity sensing), infra-red. Every sensor/transducer work with amplifier circuit and signal conditioning circuit wisely to the characteristics from every sensor to convert into stable digital signal or analog signal and then it will sent to ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and microcontroller unit in the robot system.
