KU Rover: A Multirobo Hexacopter

project /

KU Rover: A Multirobo Hexacopter KUHOVER is an aerial unmanned vehicle also known as KU-Copter in Kathmandu University. It is a multi-rotor hexa-copter, remotely controlled UAV. The approximate weight of the finished model is about 1.4 kilogram. KUHOVER uses six 1000KV motors and a 5200mAh battery to power the system. The approximate flight time is about 10-15 minutes. The range of the six channel radio trans-receiver is about 1.5 kilometers. Although the competition was postponed and later cancelled, the development and research on the project are still in progress. Team

HUSKY : An Automatic Fighting ROBOT

project /

HUSKY : An Automatic Fighting ROBOT An automatic fighting robot (also known as Sumo bot) is a bot that fights (destructive or non-destructive) and damages or push the opponent bot out of the arena. The bot that fought in our side was named “HUSKY” and it was a non-destructive sumo bot that fought with the opponent bots of the same kind. The major electrical & electronics components used in “HUSKY” include : The casing was made of sheet metal of various guage thickness and weight density to maintain the specified weight limitation of 3 Kg of the bot. Similarly, the specified dimension was 25 cm*25 cm*25 cm and that limit of dimensions and weight was fulfilled. The bots were needed to fight inside the arena of 2 meter diameter with 5 cm wide black line at the edge of the arena. Team

KU Bull An auto fighting bot is a bot that search its opponent in the arena and fights to damage or to push the opponent bot out of the arena. The bot that fought in our side was named “KU BULL” which is a non-destructive sumo bot that fight with the opponent bot of the same kind. The major Electronics components used in “KU BULL” include: The casing was made of aluminum pieces, sheet metal of various gauge thickness and weight density to maintain the specified weight limitation of 4 kg. Similarly, the specified dimension was 30cm*30cm*30cm and limit of dimension was fulfilled. The bots were needed to fight inside the arena of regular polygon of 90cm with 2inch wide black line at the edge of the arena. Team Members

KU Turtle

project /

KU Turtle KU Turtle is a line following robot that could also be controlled manually using any Bluetooth devices. KU Turtle represented KURC in Yantra5.0 in the category Yantra Racer. The major electronic components included are: Arduino Uno: A micro-controller based on ATmega328 microprocessor. Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery: Used for its high power to weight ratio. DC Geared Motor: A normal brushed DC motor fitted with gears to increase torque in expense of speed. The motors (four), KU Turtle possessed were of 100 rpm, 12 V. L293D motor driver IC: To control the DC motors (Speed and direction). Photodiode Module: A sensor to detect the color black or white (i.e. IR reflecting or absorbing). In our case we used three active photodiode module for more accuracy. Bluetooth Module: The bot was connected to a Bluetooth device via Bluetooth and controlled by an android app. The casing was prepared from aluminium pieces and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). KU turtle is a line following robot prototype whose actual application can be realised. Team Members

Trash Collection Bot

project /

The problem of unsystematic aquatic trash disposal in Kathmandu has becomea major issue contributing to the pollution of the environment with nearly315,069 tonnes of trash being dumped on riverbanks annually. To clean theseunsystematic disposals a lot of human labour is required. This is where ourproject kicks in. The project “Design and fabrication of Trash Collection Boat“introduces a system of already existing concepts of collecting aquatic trashwith the help of a boat equipped with a conveyor belt, electronics and a set ofmechanisms for moving the boat with much reduced human labour. The projectemphasises on a conveyor belt mechanism built with GI wire mesh as the beltpowered by a 100 Rpm 12v Gear motor which collects trash and collects themwith the help of a trash bin made of plywood. Along with this, a double paddlewheel concept mounted on the base made with the help of PVC pipes andpowered by 2 Double Shaft BO motors. The motors and the propeller poweredby an Arduino chipset helps operate the conveyor belt and the boat forward,backward and change directions by introducing a differential among the paddlewheels. All of these operations are controlled with an android phone whichtransmits signals to the Arduino chipset with the help of HC-05 bluetoothmodule. All of these components sit on a base made of Sallo wood having lowdensity to accommodate more weight of trash. A styrofoam base has also beenstrategically added to the lower base to provide additional buoyancy to the boat.The completion of this project resulted in a boat capable of collecting trash on asmaller scale and limited area. The implementation of these fabricationprocesses, modifications to calculations and existing literature review can resultin a live model of the trash collection boat which can contribute to reducingaquatic pollution with minimal human labour.

Smart Bin

project /

Smart Bin This project we intend to build an automated dustbin system named ‘Mr. Bean/Bin ‘. It will be a dustbin with advanced features within it. To address the existing problem of waste management we intended to build a smart dustbin with an alert and an auto functioning mechanism with the implementation of different electronic components such as arduinos, sensors, leds and so on. By the end of the project we aim to achieve a fully functioning smart dustbin whose experience and knowledge can be expanded on to create more similar smart dustbin to address the problem of waste management in society. Team members:Diwas ParajuliAbhiyan DhakalAakriti PoudelPrabesh GuragainBibek AdhikariPravin Aryal

Maze Solving Robot

project /

Maze solving robot This project builds an autonomous maze solving robot that will learn the arrangement of the maze and navigate the maze. This robot will use an array of infrared sensors (IR sensors) to detect the obstacles and use the Arduino UNO microcontroller to carry out the logical operations and implement the wall following algorithm to solve the non-looped maze. We aim to achieve a fully functioning autonomous maze solving robot which can be expanded on to create similar bots that can be used in medical emergency and delivery sectors.  TEAM MEMBERS Pravin Aryal Prashant Shrestha Sabin Badal Swikar Jaiswal Vivekananda GK Gupta Shreya Khatiwada

CNC Foam Cutting Machine

project /

CNC FOAM CUTTING MACHINE CNC is an electro-mechanical machine which can move along X, Y, and Z-axes precisely. CNC machines are used for a variety of applications like wood cutting, metal cutting, etc. Instead of bits or lasers, the main tool of this machine is a hot wire, or a special type of resistance wire which gets really hot when current flows through it. The hot wire melts or evaporates the foam when passing through it and so we can precisely and easily get any shape we want In our project in particular, we will be using CNC to cut soft materials like foam TEAM MEMBERS Bivek Sah Yarana Rai  Anmol Shrestha
