Abstract: This project stair climbing robot exploits star-wheel methodology , which has the capability of ascending and descending stairs and traversing obstacles and flexible while climbing and declining sloped surfaces. The proposed system is a star-wheel based robot for physically challenged person. The important application of this robot is that, it is attached to the Wheel-Chair for carrying disabled persons over the stairs and obstacles. If the robot moves on flat surfaces and comes upon a stair or obstacle, the robot switches to Star-Wheels motion and one wheel of the Star-Wheels get fixed on one stair as a base and the Star-Wheels rotation will cause stair climbing. It allows the robot adapts itself with respect to the path curvature and prevents the shocks of the changes of path slope. Here the motion of the wheels is controlled by motors. ATmega microcontroller is used to interface Bluetooth and mobile application. The movement of the robot is controlled using mobile. application. HC-05 is a Bluetooth device (class 3) used for wireless transmission.
