Design and Implementation of Arduino Controlled Mecanum Wheel Robot

The Design and Implementation of an Arduino Controlled Mecanum Wheel Robot focuses on developing an advanced mobile robotic system capable of omnidirectional movement using mecanum wheels. Unlike conventional robots, this system can move forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally without changing its orientation, enabling precise navigation in confined and complex environments. The robot is built using an Arduino Uno as the main controller, interfaced with dummy shaft BO motors for efficient motion control and a Bluetooth module for wireless communication. Users can control the robot in real time through a smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing intuitive directional commands. Additionally, an LCD display is integrated to provide system status and movement feedback. The combination of mecanum wheel mechanics and Arduino-based control ensures flexibility, accuracy, and ease of implementation. This project demonstrates a cost-effective and scalable solution suitable for applications such as material handling, surveillance, and indoor navigation, while also serving as a practical platform for learning robotics, embedded systems, and wireless control technologies.
