Abstract
This thesis analyzed the design, implementation and manufacturing of a low-cost soil sample collector robot. The robot utilized dynamic mechanical parts, controlling microprocessor boards, 3D printed collecting arm, DC motors, a servomotor, batteries and communication modules. Indeed, the study focused on three main goals: reducing the cost of digging processes, manufacturing a clean, an environmentally friendly machine and introducing a remote control vehicle. The robot cost less than $1000 with few parts purchased from off-the-shelf products. Also, lithium-ion batteries to actuate the motors eventuated a fossil fuel free vehicle. Moreover, wireless RF modules with high coverage that fulfilled creating an unmanned robot. It is hoped than the thesis motivates students about robotics and projects regarding making a device, which requires knowledge of multiple engineering fields.
