DESCRIPTION:
In this project we mainly focus on how to control and mange the solar power that is used for
robotic vehicle. In the above block diagram you find two figures 1.Robot section 2. Remote
section. In Rx section a solar panel is used to convert the solar power to electrical power. With
electrical power we charge two batteries not at once but one after another. These batteries are
used to power up the robots. While one battery is used to give power supply another one is in
charging, if first battery is discharged then next one is turn on to give supply at that time
discharged battery is get charged by the solar panel. Motor driver controller is used control the
direction of the robot based on the key received from the Remote section
