This project presents the design and development of a six-wheeled robot equipped with a rocker bogie suspension system, Bluetooth-based control (voice and keys), and an ultrasonic sensor with a servo motor. The rocker bogie suspension, inspired by NASA's Mars rovers, enables the robot to traverse challenging terrains while maintaining stability and balance. The robot's control system utilizes Bluetooth technology, allowing users to operate it through voice commands or key inputs. The integration of ultrasonic sensing with a servo motor enhances the robot's ability to detect and avoid obstacles in its environment. The robot's mechanical design, control architecture, and sensor integration are discussed in detail, highlighting the key features and functionalities. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system, showcasing the robot's superior mobility, precise control, and obstacle avoidance capabilities. The developed robot presents a versatile platform with potential applications in exploration, surveillance, and other domains where robust and adaptable locomotion is required.
