The WEEBOT Robot is a small, modular, and beginner-friendly programmable robot designed for learning the basics of robotics, IoT, and automation.

It uses a simple wheeled drive system, plug-and-play sensors, and an Arduino / ESP32 microcontroller, making it easy for students, hobbyists, and educators to build and program.

WEEBOT focuses on:

1. Low cost
2. Easy assembly
3. Customizable body
4. Hands-on coding practice
5. STEM learning for all ages

Key Features

1. Differential Drive System

WEEBOT typically uses:

1. 2 DC motors + caster wheel (most common)
2. OR 4-wheel drive for stronger movement

These motors are controlled using:

1. L298N / L293D / TB6612FNG motor driver

Movement abilities:

1. Forward / backward
2. Sharp turns
3. Spin-in-place
4. Curve driving
5. Speed control via PWM

2. Smart Sensor Integration

The robot supports multiple sensors:

1. Ultrasonic sensor → obstacle detection
2. IR sensor array → line following
3. Light sensors → brightness detection
4. IR receiver → remote control
5. ESP32-CAM → camera vision (optional)

This allows the robot to run:

1. Obstacle avoidance mode
2. Line-following mode
3. Edge-avoidance mode
4. Autonomous navigation

3. Microcontroller Brain

Compatible with:

1. Arduino Nano / UNO (most common)
2. ESP32 (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth version)
3. Micro:bit (for educational version)

Supports coding in:

1. Arduino IDE
2. MicroPython (ESP32)
3. MakeCode (micro:bit)

4. 3D Printable or Laser-Cut Body

The WEEBOT chassis is:

1. Compact
2. Lightweight
3. Fully 3D-printable
4. Easy to assemble
5. Customizable for projects

Students can redesign the chassis to:

1. Add a head
2. Add a camera
3. Add a robotic arm
4. Add LEDs or sensors

5. Simple Power Supply

Powered through:

1. 6V battery pack
2. 2 × Li-ion 18650 cells
3. 5V power bank (for ESP32)

6. Control Modes

You can control WEEBOT using:

1. Bluetooth app
2. Wi-Fi (web-controlled via ESP32)
3. IR remote
4. Autonomous behavior
5. Voice commands (optional)
6. Gesture gloves (MPU6050)

Applications

1. School robotics competitions
2. Line follower races
3. Obstacle-avoidance tasks
4. Maze-solving
5. IoT experiments
6. Beginner coding workshops
7. STEM labs and training centers
8. College mini-projects and prototypes
