Tutorial make steps for developing intelligent robots
There are three steps for developing the robot, namely:
1. Planning, including: the selection of hardware and design.

In this phase, we plan what we will create, quite simply, we want to make robots that like? Useful for what? Things that need to be determined in this stage:

* The dimensions, ie length, width, height, and approximate weight of the robot. High-sized robot KRI sektar 1m, while the high-robot KRCI approximately 25 cm.
* The structure of the material, whether from aluminum, iron, wood, plastic, and so forth.
* How it works, containing sections of the robot and the functions of the parts. For example the arms, conveyors, elevators, power supply.
* Robot censors what to wear.
* The mechanism, how the mechanical system so that the robot can complete the task.
* Method of controlling, ie, how a robot can be controlled and driven, microprocessor which used, and the block diagram of the system.
* The strategy to win the game, if there is a robot that will be included race / contest robot International.

2. Creation, covering the manufacture of mechanical, electronic, and programs.

There are three job should be done in this phase, namely the manufacture of mechanical, electronic, and programming. Each requires people with different specializations, namely:

* Specialist Mechanical, which suited the fields of science and engineering and mechanical engineering industries.
* Specialist Electronics, is suitable science in electrical engineering.
* Programming Specialist the field of science that is suitable informatics techniques.

So in a robot team, there must be persons who have certain abilities that complement each other. This is necessary in creating a Indonesian Robot Contest (KRI) or Indonesian Intelligent Robot Contest (KRCI). Field of science that I mentioned earlier, student department or study program, for example, allowed students majoring in mechanical engineering course in programming.

To follow the race KRI / KRCI needed a solid team. But for you who are interested in making robots as a hobby or want to learn, all can be done by yourself, because you are not bound by time or deadlines. So you could do with more relaxed.

Mechanical Creation

After an outline description of the robot is designed, then the framework can begin to be made. General framework of the KRI robot is made of aluminum or aluminum box elbow. One segment is connected to one another with aluminum rivets. Keling is a kind of useful aluminum nails to attach the sheet metal tightly. Order robot KRCI more varied, can be made from plastic or metal, such as grating length.

Making electronic systems

Parts of electronic systems designed in accordance with the desired function. For example to drive the DC motor is required h-brigde, while necessary to move relay switch transistor. Sensors that will be used to learn and understand how it works, for example:

1. Proximity sensor, can use the SRF04, GP2D12, or assemble their own modules, ultrasonic or infrared sensors.
2. Direction sensor, could use a compass sensor CMPS03 or Dinsmore.
3. Temperature sensor, can use the LM35 or other sensors.
4. Flame sensor / heat, can use Uvtron or Thermopile.
5. Censors line follower / line detector, can use the LED and photo transistors.

Making Software / Programs

Making software is done after the tool is ready to be tested. This embedded software (downloaded) on the micro controller so that the robot can function as expected.

Phase of this program include:

1. Algorithm Design or flow program
For simple functions, the algorithm can be made directly at the time of writing programs. For complex functions, the algorithm was developed by using flow charts.
2. Writing Program
Writing programs in C language, Assembly, Basic, or language is most fluent.
3. Compile and download, which is to transfer the program that we wrote to the robot.

3. Trials.

After we downloaded the program to the microcontroller (robot brain) means we are ready to do the last step in making robots, ie testing. To KRCI, trials conducted in the arena area of approximately 4 × 4 meters long and shaped like a puzzle. In this arena KRCI placed candles should be extinguished by a fire extinguisher intelligent robots. Sample images of fire extinguisher robot arena Ted Larsorn and Intelligent Indonesian Robot Contest (KRCI).

For the robot contest KRI, needed a larger space, which is about 15 × 15 meters. In the Indonesian Robot Contest (KRI) in 2008, each robot must reach the target (ball / cube) which was placed on high ground, so a robot should be able to rise above the other robot to reach target
