ECE), Vidarbha Institute of Technology, Nagpur Abstract This paper presents a method of developing a stairs climbing robot with self balancing chair mounted on the top of the robot. It is one of the major task in the field of Mechatronics require a mechanical arrangement and electronics based control of the actuators using wireless technology. In most of the mechanism it is hard to maintain the slope position of the seat while carrying some goods on it, so taking in action all these condition the robot is to design and develop [1] which will climb on the stairs and adjust themselves as per environmental condition.

INTRODUCTION The system is basically based on mechatronics used for developing a stair climbing robot with self adjustable attached seat on it based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System), CC2500 transreceiver and Touchscreen. It is really one of the advance and necessary technology which will be implemented everywhere in future. It is based on the Microcontroller-ATMega16 and wireless communication using CC2500-Transreceiver and Touchscreen. The intelligence for controlling the robot will be embedded on the [6] AVR series microcontroller i.e.ATMega16. It will be programmed by using embedded „C‟ Language. For self balancing of the seat designed will be controlled using accelerometer ADXL335 providing a good range of analog value of different calibration as per the co-ordinates. 2. LITERATURE Robots have wide history of being in use ever since industrialization. There has been and ever growing development in the field which noted in the several records .In 1938-39 the jointed mechanical arm was invented for spray painting. When, in 1954 George C. Devol field a U.S. patent for a programmable method for transferring the article between different parts of a factory, he wrote: “ The present invention makes available for the first time a more or less general purpose machine that has universal application to a vast diversity of application where cyclic control is desired.” In 1957, cam programmable “pick and place”, robot was developed by Brown, at the planet corporation in the USA. In 1967-68 the first wheeled walking machine using vision and other sensors, were reported. In 1974, the first servomotor actuated and microcomputer controlled robot were commercially launched and they were used by NASA to collect samples from the surface of mars. In 1981, a microprocessor-based pneumatically operated pick and place Robot was indigenously developed by the author S.R.DEB in the Production Engineering Department at Jadavpur University. In 1984, Bhabha Atomatic Research Central has developed a 6-axes multipurpose Robot, having weight about 300kg and can move an end-of-arm, load of 10kg, including that of end effecter. According to Robert J. Schilling tshe robot manipulation has been read and studied in detail, the various drive technologies, work envelop of every configuration that has so far been developed the SCARA, jointed arm configuration, the various robot specification like number of axes, capacity by and speed, torque and force analysis has been done. According to Edwine Wise the robot comprises of components belonging to several fields like electronic components it became essential to study in depth about electronic components like sensors, PCB making, microprocessors and making of driver circuits was taken in depth from several sources.
