Abstract
This paper focuses on the design and
Construction of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV)
for fumigation purpose using an Arduino Uno board,
An Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle
operating in contact with the ground, carrying
equipment or materials and supplies, without human
presence on board.four DC motors, one servo motor,
sprayer and Bluetooth module were used for the
successful implementation of the system. The
Arduino Uno broad with an onboard
ATmega328Pmicrocontroller was used to serve as
the entire brain of the system which holds the C
code that controls the robot movements, the
spraying and the rotation of the sprayer. The
Bluetooth module was used to establish a wireless
control of the vehicle, the spraying and sprayer tank
rotation. The system prototype designed was tested
under different case scenarios to verify its reliability.
