Robotic Radar Target Test-system : Test vehicle

Sammanfattning: Methods and tools for making testing and verification work more efficient and quality-assured are constantly being developed. These tests should ensure that the products delivered are set up correctly, have no defects and provide the desired functionality.In this project, a robot system and a computer program have been developed. Robot systems can move around a radar target along a route described by a line taped to the floor, the web application sends instructions to the robot. The robot is a CNC-cut 4WD base, the robot's functions are built up of a number of electrical components: IG42 gear motors and omnidirectional wheels, microcontrollers, motor drivers and Pixy2 camera. The robot's speed is regulated by means of a PD controller where the robot drives forward and maintains a straight direction, the robot also has the ability to rotate and find an object using a Pixy2 camera. The computer program is a web-based application that runs on a web browser.The work aims to automate product testing and product verification. By driving to different test points in a test track, the robot must, with the help of the web application, stop and carry out instructions on a radar target mounted on the robot. The result of the work was a robot that can follow a line, stop at test points, rotate and find objects as well as a web application that communicates and sends instructions to the robot.
