| Abstract | The robots are largely used in many areas such as industry, toys, explored space .etc... The mobile robot is one kind of robot. Itcan work with the energy storage in their batteries. When the energy of the battery is low, it can be replaced or recharged. For some special reasons, the battery cannot replaceor the robot cannot receive the aid from the human. There is one choice that the mobile robots recharge their battery by themselves. Solar panels support the power for battery and the operation of mobile robots. The NXT mobile robot is usedin this project. The PIC 16C57, one microprocessor of Microchip Company, is used to control the charged battery and control the action of NXT robot.The robot is powered by the solar panel and it can work in long time without the outside assistance. |
