This final presentation showcases a self-sustaining solar-powered robot designed to seek and navigate towards the strongest light source. The robot monitors its energy levels, autonomously recharges with solar power, and utilizes mobile sonar for object avoidance. The presentation includes insights on successes, failures, and lessons learned during its development.

Self Sustaining Solar Power Robot Final Presentation Mason Drew Mark Nolan Wesley Varghese
Problem Objective • Light-Seeking – be able to locate the strongest light source in the area and navigate toward it. • Mobile – be able to navigate on a flat surface without obstacles. • Monitor Energy – monitor the battery’s energy level at all times. It should know when it needs to seek more energy and it should also know when the battery is done charging. • Solar-Rechargeable – once in a strong light source, the robot should enter a charging mode where it consumes very little power and stores the energy into rechargeable batteries. • Self-sustaining – operate without any assistance from the outside world.
Light-Seeking • Light Measurement Circuit • multiple sensitivity circuits • Algorithm • dynamic dead band
Mobile Sonar (object avoidance)
Monitor Energy • Voltage Measurement Circuit • LED
Solar-Rechargeable • Solar Array • Charge Circuitry
Conclusion • Successes • Failures • Lessons Learned
