Abstract/Summary

The stair-climbing transporter is prototype that was created in contribution to the development of stair-climbing robot designs. The general purpose of the prototype is to be able to climb stairways and carry light weight loads while maintaining the load's orientation perpendicular to the ground despite terrain inclination. Movement of the transporter is achieved with the use of four servo motors whose speed and direction of rotation are controlled by different pulse widths from the microcontroller. Rubber ridges are attached on the aluminum wheels to provide more traction during stair-climbing. Some possible useful applications of the prototype are also cited in this paper. The subsequent steps in the construction of the prototype and the functionality of each component will also be explained methodically. Furthermore, a thorough discussion of the results obtained from various computations and experimentations that contributed to the development of the prototype's final design is also presented.
