Construcción de un robot de sumo con el kit lego MINDSTORMS home ev3 considerando las reglas de la competencia ROBOT GAMES ZERO LATITUD®.

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to analyze, create and interpret the functioning of hardware and software for the creation and implementation of a programmable Lego Mindstorms Home Ev3 sumo robot that will allow a unique robot prototype with efficiency and strength characteristics to compete successfully in the national Robot Games Zero Latitude® tournament, it is also intended to strengthen the theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of electronics, programming at intermediate and advanced levels, benefiting the ISTVN robotics club in its future participation in robotics tournaments, encouraging interest in structural design. With this background, the aim is to investigate each of the components that make up the lego Mindstorms Home Ev3 kit applied in the field of educational robotics, for this we implemented the construction of a programmable sumo robot which has its own Ev3 software, which uses a language based on LabVIEW to program the optimal operation of the robot. The main component of the robot is the TI Sitara ARM9 AM1808 microcontroller, which is installed in the intelligent Lego® Ev3 block with the respective program to control the movement of the robot on the battlefield.
