Preliminary Research for Disaster Robot Based on BLDC Motor Control using Arduino

Abstract

Many researchers have developed disaster robots. This paper aims to create disaster robot assistant for helping humans in handling victims of natural disasters. This preliminary research is devoted to the interface and instrumentation of the Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor. The focus of this paper is on programming techniques for BLDC motors based on Arduino and Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) which are open loop. The robot used to monitor areas that are declared dangerous and can cause natural disasters. In this preliminary research, an assist robot was created that runs on roads that are not intended to help humans carry several environmental monitoring devices on volcanoes. The robot carries an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) equipped with several sensors for monitoring environmental conditions. System testing is to provide setpoint data and take measurements of the response in the form of output voltage from the DAC and motor rotation speed (RPM). The measurement results for motor speed (RPM) is 11.915 and for DAC (volt) is 0.0169, where the data is a direct comparison of measurements to measurements from settings using Arduino.
