Abstract

The work done in this paper gives the design and development of terrain globetrotter bot (robot) for different types of engg. applications. we are going to design and develop a Terrain Globetrotter Bot. A Terrain Globetrotter is a simple structure bot that uses the ROS (Robotic Operating System) software library of version ROS Kinetic/ Melodic and is booted with a Raspberry Pi and interfaced with an RPLidar in the front top portion of the bot. This low-cost mapping bot has features such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), which can not only form a map of the environment using Lidar scans and Frame Grabber's Robotic Operating System Software package to communicate with ROS in the Raspberry Pi via ROS Network Configurations, but also additional functions such as requesting the user to select the destination, path planning to safely reach the destination, and then gathering the required small resources / samples from the hazards underground areas. The project's goal is to create a fully autonomous robot capable of mapping its surroundings and navigating obstacles. This can be accomplished by utilising a chassis outfitted with tracks and two motors, a Lidar, a compass, and a Raspberry Pi. The work done & presented in this paper is the result of the final year one year project work that has been done by the final year engineering students of the college and as such there is little novelty in it and the references are being taken from various sources from the internet, the paper is being written by the students to test their writing skills in the final stages of their engineering career and also to test the presentation skills during their final year project presentation and the work done & presented in this paper is the report of the undergraduate project work done by the students.
