Abstract :
Along with a senior undergraduate course several team projects were implemented in the Department of Electrical Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University during Spring 1999. The report describes the project carried out by a group of students in the area of motor driving systems. A mini mobile robot named “AGGIE ROVER” was constructed and tested. This system consists of three parts: base, arm and head, which can be remotely controlled separately and simultaneously. This project has provided the students with valuable hands-on experience in the field
