ABSTRACT

This report summarises the mechanical design, electronic design and software design of the

two robots, i.e. the Messenger Robot 1 (MR1) and the Messenger Robot 2 (MR2) of

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) ROBOCON Team for participating in ROBOCON
Malaysia 2019. In this report, we discuss how we design the robot in order to carry out each

task in the games, like passing and receiving of the Gerege from the MR1 to the MR2,
actuating the legs of the MR2, raising the Gerege at the Uukhai Zone, throwing of Shagai.

We also describe the connections between the sensors and the electronic board and the
function of certain sensors on the robots. The flows of the programme for the MR1 and the

MR2 are also displayed in this report. Some recommendations which can be applied in the

future for improving the robot designs are also summarised in the report.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

UTM ROBOCON Team was established since 2002. Our main focus has been on
developing robots and participation in ROBOCON activities. Participating in ROBOCON

Malaysia 2019 (adopted from Abu ROBOCON 2019) requires each team to develop two
robots, a wheeled robot and a quadrupled robot [1-4]. The quadrupled robot is a great

challenge for our team. In preparation for the national competition, research and
development have been carried out. This report describes the two robots (the MR1 and the

MR2) in terms the mechanism, electronic and programming. The objectives of developing

the robots are to participate in ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 and complete all tasks of the
games. The motivation for us to continue in developing the robots is to learn new knowledge

and skills especially on the quadrupled robot. Besides that, our motivation is to bring the

victory of ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 to UTM and represent Malaysia for Abu ROBOCON
2019 at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
