Aperfeiçoamento de um robô de sumô autônomo

Abstract

The automation has brought to mankind a great advance, causing a meaningful impact to society and to the men’s lives. It has provided new ways of processing information fast, including also ways of acting precisely and even ways to produce faster than usual. In general, it brought us comfort and evolution to the modern life style. Following this context, we propose a project, which works integrating hardware, sensors and software introducing ourselves into the automation area while working with a sumo robot. This introduction will help as a start point to understand some automation techniques. The autonomy of an autonomous robot is very important because it makes it independent e gives it a lot of precision using external signals, where it is possible to repeat movements continuously without the need of a break or even to accelerate manual processes, a pointing target within researchers since its first development. Following the path, this project will base itself in sensors integrated with controllers and actuators aiming the automation area development and introduction, while working with some robot improvements that initially has attack movements only, giving this work a mission to implement new techniques to complement its movements. To do that, it is implemented a Fuzzy logic, enhancing the robot to respond to new sensors. Using this technique, the robot is going to be able to operate with attack and defense movements, while it can choose the best velocity to each opponent’s velocity and distance inputs.
