Design and Development of Robot, Humanoid Robots, Robot Control Applications

Abstract

         The objectives of this research were to 1) design and develop a small robot, 2) develop a small robot control application on the Android operating system, and 3) evaluate the performance of a small robot controlled via an app. Apps on the Android operating system. The target group is 5 experts selected by a specific method. Research tools include a small robot, a robot control application on the Android operating system, and a small robot performance evaluation form controlled through an application on the Android operating system by writing programs and algorithms for controlling robots with the Arduino IDE program, developing programs with the C language, using the App Inventor program to help develop applications. The statistics used in the research were mean and standard deviation.

            The research results were as follows: 1) The results of the development of small robots showed that the developed small robots had a functional structure similar to human movements and could follow orders by controlling the functions of both left and right legs to move forward, backward, bend the arm and lift the arm of the robot, 2) the result of developing a small robot control application on the Android operating system found that small robot control apps on the Android operating system developed can transmit wireless technology signals connecting the robot and the smartphone, allowing the robot to receive commands and follow them precisely and 3) performance evaluation results. It was found that small robots have similar functional structures to human movements and can follow instructions precisely, and the robot control application is efficient. Overall, it was at the highest level. (Mean was 4.68, Standard deviation was 0.82).
