    Hi all,
    I'm currently designing a Robot can can be remotely controlled i.e. send FORWARD, RIGHT etc.
    I may have a few weeks time remaining before my deadline. Does anyone have any ideas for added extras I could include in this project that could be done in 3-4 weeks.
    Thanks
    Glenman

    a perfect 3-point-turn button?

    a spin-around-in-a-circle button?

    another gatling gun?

    If it's just an MC+antenna on 4 wheels, there's not a lot of extra functions it can have, does it have sensors? automatic pilot? hypodermic needle loaded with cyanide?

    I'm planning to use obstacle avoidance sensors as well. There is not much respect for hardware though now for a degree project

    hmm, there are lots of things that can be done.

    obstacle avoidance, as you mentioned is a good. can't crash it etc.

    on top of that could be built some form of mapping capability, provided of course that the robot can return data.
    some ultrasonic sensors to detect walls, combined with odometry from the wheels can give a fair amount to play with as far as map construction goes.

    follow the line?, use an irsensor to detect and follow a black line on a white surface.

    hmm, since it is controlled using gprs i presume it has a mobile/modem on it.
    an interesting application would be to send a message to the phone when it detects and obstacle/intruder in room robbing house. now its a guard robot.

    anyway what college are you in?
