Final project proposal

Idea:

My final project idea is to make a robotic car that acts as a phone cleaner. The spray would be lying somewhere on top of the car and the mini towel would be somewhere under the wheels in which the car can slide over the phone and wipe it. To control this, the user has to use the buttons on p5.js.

Arduino:

  • Distance sensor to sense if the phone is available.
  • Servo motor for the screen spray.
  • Wheels for the car to move. (x2 or x4)

P5.js:

  • Click button to control spray.
  • Click button and Up and Down keys to control car.

Communications:

At first, the screen on p5.js will ask for the user to insert their phone in front of the car. Once it is detected by the distance sensor, it will send a signal to p5.js and the screen will display a phone with two buttons. The first button will have a spray icon. When it is clicked, it will send a signal to the servo motor and spray the phone. Therefore, it will show a sprayed phone on the screen. The second button will have a wiping icon. When it is clicked, it will allow the user to move the car by clicking the up and down buttons. This way, the car will only move vertically. It will show the phone being dried on the screen while it is wiping.
