 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to express my sincere gratitude and reverence to God

Almighty, for guiding me throughout this project, making my endeavor an undiluted
success.

We extent my sincere gratitude to Prof.Shahir V K,Principal for giving me

the arena and providing me with all the amenities to do the project.

We also extend my heart full thanks to Assoc.Prof. Lekha Pankaj,Head of

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, for encouraging and
aiding me throughout the project. We express our sincere gratitude to
Asst.Prof.Punitha v, the project guide for their valuable advice and help presenting
the project.

In course of completion of the project, We were fortunate to receive the

assistance of many faculty, friends and relatives who were extremely generous with
their valuable suggestions, time and energy. We would like to thank all of them and
recognize the fact that without them this project would have been inconceivable.
 ABSTRACT

An ASSISTIVE MARS ROVER performs a physical task for the well-being of a

person with a disability. the task is embedded in the context of normal human
activities of daily living and would otherwise have to be performed by an attendant. A
robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks automatically
or with guidance, typically by remote control. In practice a robot is usually an electro-
mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming. Robots
can be autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remotely controlled. Robots range from
humanoids such as ASIMO and TOPIO to nano robots, swarm robots, industrial
robots, military robots, mobile, and servicing robots. By mimicking a lifelike
appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense that it has intent or
agency of its own .This project is about ASSISTIVE MARS ROVER can be used our
daily purpose and astronomical uses. ASSISTIVE MARS ROVER s fully gesture
controlled robot .it act as automatic wheel chair, ultrasonic detection, trolley. Robot
buggys main controlling interface is arduino uno.The ultimate goal of group 1
approach is to provide the operator with the ability to perform necessary actions,
manipulations, and tasks at safe distances in harmful or dangerous scenarios such as
explosive ordnance disposal or investigation of a chemical or biological threat. Many
injuries and fatalities can occur even when the personnel in harm's way are highly
skilled. And repetitive or mundane tasks can become dangerous or harmful when a
human operator such as a maintenance person at a nuclear reactor or a sentry at a
checkpoint lets his guard down. We wanted ASSISTIVE MARS ROVER to be tactile,
for the robot to physically interact and sense the environment To replicate the human
hand is a tall order, but all the hooks are in place to control the fingers and apply the
necessary force to perform sensitive motions. We are, for example, working on fine
control precision like grasping a grain of rice or small ball bearing robot will be
enhanced with obstacle detection so it knows to move around objects (a rock, a wall)
in its path. By looking through the robot's computer-eye view of the world, an
operator could simply tell the robot to pick up an object, grab a tool, or move
something. We want the robot to have a supervised autonomy so that the user watches
and only has to control the high-level functions while the robot takes care of the
basics.
