摘要：Most of the solar powered vehicles are powered using fixed solar panels placed on top of the vehicle, wherethe solar panel remains in the direction of vehicle irrespective of the direction of the sun. This project provides the bestsolution for this by aligning the tracker setup continuously toward the sun irrespective of the direction of therobot/vehicle. The project is PIC microcontroller based robot where the base of the robot can move in all directions andtracker-base itself will align the solar panel to track the sun exactly. Intelligent feedback is provided with the help ofdigital compass for perfect solar tracking. This project does not need any installation since it is portable and can belocated in a free space exposed to direct sunlight. The use of solar energy for powering the robot makes the projectdistinctive.This project is mainly intended to design a mobile robot that is powered by a solar tracking system with anintelligent feedback system. The project is implemented using PIC microcontroller, H-Bridge motor drivers, LDRsensors, and digital compass and a tracker setup.
