Possibility of the Kinematics Arrangement of a Mobile Mechatronic System
Ľubica Miková, Miloslav Čurilla
American Journal of Mechanical Engineering. 2013 1 (7). doi: 10.12691/ajme-1-7-47
Keywords: kinematics, mobile robot , mechatronic system
Context: This article is targeted to bring basic information about the possibility of the kinematics arrangement of a mobile mechatronic system on a wheel carriage. Right choices undercarriage is one of general tasks at early design of mobile service robot. The spectrum of offered service mechatronic systems is large, starting from simple applications up the most complex ones. They represent a category of mechatronic systems involving a large ratio of conceptually and principally new solutions and designs.

American Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. 2025 13 (2). doi: 10.12691/ajeee-13-2-1
Keywords: Solar Tracking Robot, Arduino, LDR, Photovoltaic, mobile robot , EV Charging, Renewable Energy
Context: This paper presents the design and implementation of a single-axis solar tracking robot (STR) aimed at maximizing solar energy harvesting efficiency and exploring its use in off-grid electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. Unlike fixed solar panels that suffer performance losses due to the sun’s movement, the STR autonomously aligns a photovoltaic panel using light-dependent resistors (LDRs) and a servo motor, while its mobility system repositions the entire unit in search of optimal sunlight. The robot was built using cost-effective components such as Arduino Uno, L298N motor driver, and DC motors, and simulated in Proteus before hardware implementation. Field testing demonstrated an efficiency gain of up to 26% compared to static panels. The results suggest that the STR provides a viable, scalable solution for renewable-powered EV charging in remote or underdeveloped areas.
