EXOMARS ROVER GAME • A small gear to a robot.. A great gear to education!
EXOMARS ROVER GAME The playground is a field somewhere in space. An uneven and rocky area
EXOMARS ROVER GAME A robot is collecting precious environmental information: water, metal, ice….
EXOMARS ROVER GAME The robot is wandering around but its power supply is limited and it is pressed for time
EXOMARS ROVER GAME The base camp is waiting for the transmissions from the robot and it transmits a signal to allow a safe return home of the robot.
EXOMARS ROVER GAME The data to be collected are simulated by RFID targets concealed in to the ground. Each RFID has its unique code and the robot aim is to send this code to the base.
Robot "Anatomy" EXOMARS ROVER GAME
EXOMARS ROVER GAME Microcontroller Microcontroller Arduino Mega It is the “core” and the “brain” of the entire system.
EXOMARS ROVER GAME Obstacle Detectors Obstacle detetectors Sharp IR distance sensors. Arduino performs a continuous polling of 3 sensors, placed in the front of the robot
EXOMARS ROVER GAME Compass Compass In order to follow a specific research path planned by each team
EXOMARS ROVER GAME IR Sensors IR sensors Home base has a “beacon” that transmits pulsed IR. The robot receives the IR signal and is capable to get home
EXOMARS ROVER GAME RFID Reader RFID reader Is placed on the bottom of the robot. Receives the code while the robot is moving above the RFID card concealed in to the field
EXOMARS ROVER GAME GSM GSM Is the Arduino shield that allows the robot to send to the “base”.the code of the discovered target.
Arduino board has not enough power to drive DC motors. A driver shield receives “commands” from Arduino and send the correct signal to the motors. The microcontroller chooses the correct speed and direction. EXOMARS ROVER GAME Driver Motors
