DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF MYRIO CONTROLLED ROBOTIC CAR

Urgency of the research. Human safety comes first. Therefore, human activity in many areas is being replaced by machines. In many cases, this replacement comes in the form of robotic cars that are sent to places inaccessible or dangerous to humans. The use of robotic cars starts from the smallest models for inspection of pipelines, confined spaces, sewers, etc., to larger and more perfect cars that are able to carry more weight and thus more electronics and robotic parts, to overcome difficult terrain, unevenness, obstacles and replace the work of a humans, which can be life-threatening. Robotic cars for the exploration, search and destruction of explosives are a great example.Target setting. The goal of the research was to create inspection robotic car controlled by MyRIO device. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. When designing the model and preparing this paper, we took into account both current sources – publications and papers dealing with the current state of development of the inspection robotic cars as well as existing robotic car solutions, which are widely available on the market. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Autonomous driving has not been addressed at this stage, but can be carried out in further research. The research objective. The purpose of this article is to explain how a robotic car can be built using MyRIO hardware and LabVIEW software. The statement of basic materials. In our work were used components from National Instruments. Specifically, MyRIO device and LabVIEW software. Conclusions. The robotic car’s construction was designed in Solidworks. The control system for computer was programmed in the LabVIEW environment, and its specific variables enabled sharing with other devices. In the end, the robotic car was controlled with a tablet in the Data Dashboard application. The functionality has been tested in the field and approved, that the inspection robotic car was ready for use in practice.
