Abstract
In this study, a low-cost robot was designed for satellite navigation to promote learning in robotics and navigation satellite systems. Robot technology has been used more widely, including robots for treating disease and patients and service robots. Agricultural robots make robots play a greater role and satellite system are also used in the navigation system with robots as well. Specifically, the BeiDou satellite system was created, constructed, and tested. The BeiDou satellite system is tailored for low-cost robot applications. It utilizes components that allow for the construction of affordable and functional robotic platforms suitable for navigation using BeiDou satellites. The essential components of the low-cost robot platform for BeiDou navigation include an Arduino Nano Central Processing Unit (CPU), motor drive unit, robot structure, sensors, BeiDou satellite receiver module, and power supply. The researchers tested a robot by runing it over distances of 50 m and 100 m at low, medium, and high speeds at Sports Center King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL). Tests have shown that satellite signals passing through the ionosphere cause delays that affect the accuracy of the satellite navigation system. The successfully developed low-cost robot platform for BeiDou navigation is named GNSS low-cost robotic (G-LOC robot).
