4.0 CONCLUSIONS, LIMITATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

To conclude, the development of quadrupled robot presents a great challenge to us.
With the involvement in ROBOCON Malaysia 2019, we learnt a lot of new knowledge in

robotics especially about quadrupled robot.

The MR2 design has a flaw, that is the torque of power window motors is not high

enough to actuate the legs if the legs are directly attached to the motors without gearing

down. This makes the attachment to be complex and increases the weight of the MR2.

We recommend that the robot design should be improved by using motors with

higher torque and this should be directly attached to the legs to reduce the weight of the
robot.

5.0 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We would like to express our gratitude to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, the Faculty

of Engineering, especially the School of Electrical, School of Mechanical and the School of
Computing for giving us support and facilities to develop our robots. We also thank our

team manager, Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Mohd Ridzuan Bin Ahmad for his generous advice
particularly in terms of technical issues and in managing our team.

Thanks to all of our team members for continuously developing better robots for the
competition. We also extend our thank to our sponsors for supporting us in the preparation

for ROBOCON Malaysia 2019.
