1. INTRODUCTION A robot is an artificial machine, usually it consists of an mechanical, electrical, electronic components which are controlled by a computer program. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids to industrial robots. By automating movements as required, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence and do unanimously its work. In present scenario, robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. Generally, the applications of robot include automated machines, remote-control based and wireless remote-control based in industries. Recently Robots have replaced humans in performing repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans are unable to do because of size limitations and extreme environments such as outer space, very hot places or in the bottom of the sea.

Industrial robots are robots used in an industrial manufacturing environment. Usually these are articulated arms specifically developed for such applications as welding, material handling, painting and others. If we judge purely by application this type could also include some automated guided vehicles and other warehouse robots. In present scenario robot navigation become a major focus on industrial robotics. Mobile robots are commonly used in factories and other environments to perform various tasks involving transfer of job from one location to another. The robot has to identify several obstacles along its path and avoid those obstacles. Several algorithms have been developed for planning paths for robots [1].

Mecanum wheels give the ability to move instantaneously in any direction for any platform. Also they have the ability to easily perform certain tasks in congested environments with static, dynamic obstacles or narrow areas. Such environments are found in industrial workshops, warehouses, hospitals and assembly lines. Hence the resulting needs to create this kind of robotic platform to satisfy the requirements of various fields, such as: industrial, military, naval, medical and the educational field [2]. Also Diegel et.al described the ability of the system to move in any direction from any configuration. The multi directional robot has vast advantages in conventional design in terms of the mobility suggested environments they are capable of performing all the tasks to the environmental congest [3].

Mohd Salih et al. presented the processes undertaken in the design and development of an intelligent multi-directional mobile robot using four custom-made mecanum wheels which are powered by four DC motors with 2 units of LMD 18200 motor drivers IC circuit interfaced with a microcontroller board. A basic mobility algorithm using Basic Stamp software was developed by them to test the basic mobility capabilities and test the qualitative view of the system's mobility performance. An experiment was conducted by them on the set-up to analyze the motion characteristic of the mobile robot motion in Y-axis, X-axis and rotary motion [4].

Adăscăliţei and Doroftei presented practical applications of mobile robotic platforms based on special wheels (Mecanum wheel) which move instantaneously in any direction, from any configuration. Those vehicles possess multiple advantages in terms of their mobility in narrow spaces or crowded environments. They have the ability to easily perform certain tasks in congested environments with static and dynamic obstacles or narrow areas which are present in industrial, military, naval, medical and the educational lab. A comparison between the use of mecanum wheel and a conventional wheel was described in their paper [5].

Soni et al. studied about the mecanum wheel which is used to describe the ability to move in any dimobility in congested environments. These environments are commonly found in factory workshops offices, warehouses, hospitals and elderly care facilities. The authors concthat a curved path can be traversed faster than a straightAnother similar work was carried out by Taheri et al. on mecanum wheel with flat based platform and they discussed the various kinetic movements of the mecfew researchers attempted with fabrication of mobile robot with and without rough terrain. [810]. The motor control actions employed in a CNC 2D sketcher are similar to motion control in robots [11].

The present work is mainly focused oplatform for warehouse automation which is equipped with the Infrared (IR) sensor to detect the obstacle around it and move accordingly and also to transfer the material from one place to another place. The can move in any direction carrying loads that can satisfy the requirements of various fields and can overcome certain ranges of trajectories and starting conditions.

2. HARDWARE USED2.1. Mecanum WheelThe Mecanum wheel is a wheel, designed in such a way that it can move a vehicle in any direction. It is sometimes called the Ilon wheel after its Swedish inventor, Bengt Ilon, who came up with the idea in 1973 when he was an engineer wAB. It consists of series of rollers attached to its circumference. The rollers have an axis of rotation at 45° to both plane of the wheel and line through the centre of the roller parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheused to construct the robot platform. By controlling wheels with left and rightforce is applied roughly at right angles to the wheelbase diagonal, it can be made to move in any direction. The turning effect of platform is obtained by varying the speed and direction of rotation of each wheel. Forward or backward movement is obtained by controlling all four wheels in the same direction. By controlling of wheels on one side in the oppthose on the other side causes rotation of the vehicle (refer Fig. 11 for other motions of robot platform).

2.2. High Torque DC MotorsA DC motor converts direct current into mechanical power say rotational modirection of current flow in part of the motor is changed so as to get the required motion in DC motors which consists of many electromechanical components which periodically. Other type DC motor can generate a linear motion, directly produces foline. Such type of motor is called torque motor with the rotor blocked from turning, without incurring damage. Similarly, a limited angle torque motor cannot perform a complete rotation.

The fig. 9 shows the robot electronic components circuit through block diagram. The aluminum blocks are used in the preparation of the chassis of the robot. The aluminum blocks with 30cm length and 40 cm height are cuts through the hacksaw blade and attachrectangular with 3mm screws and nuts. The drilling machine is used to connect screws to prepare the chassis of the body. After that motors are connected with motor mounted bridge by using the screws and nuts. After the preparation of the chassis then weto fill the hallow space between the aluminum blocks. The plastic material is cut as per the dimensions of the chassis by leaving 1cm length and height to fit in between the rectangular space. After placing the plastic sheet then theplastic board and the components are VNH, Power Distribution Board, Interface Circuit Board, Battery are placed on the plastic sheet. Then these components are attached to the plastic sheet with the help of the scplastic sheet and the components by the means spacers. The spacer helps to move the wires under it to look the robot cleanly. Then the soldering is done to the motors and also the interface board witnegative cables to the VNH driver with the same polarity to the 4 motors.

Then we used eight and two pin relimated connectors to connect the atmega16 micro controller with VNH drivers since its 40 pins we use only eight pins so we use only eight pin connectors. These connectors used to connect to the power distribution circuit wtransver the equal amount power to the 4 motors. After that we place battery in between the center of the robot to get equal distribution of the power to all components and then soldering is done between the battery and power distribution circontrol the power. On the completion of connecting all the components, we wrote the program for 4 motors so as to rotate the wheels and dumped that program in to the micro controller with help of the programmer cadifferent programs for the different direction to move the robot platform as required and dumped into the micro controller. Then robot moves according to the program given to it. Finally, the sensors aresides of the chassis so as to detect the obstacle (refer Fig. 10).

Thus a mecanum wheel mobile robotplatform provides a convenient platform for further development in the field of mobile platform. Further the robot motion control and multiple input/output sensors allow the researchers to explore large number of control algorithm and software so as to use the robot in
