DESCRIPTION
In this project we have focused on improving the steering response in automobiles using a rack and pinion assembly. The main purpose is to design and manufacture a new arrangement of rack and pinion which enhances the maneuverability.
Animatronics refers to the use of robotic devices to emulate a human or an animal, or bring lifelike characteristics to an otherwise inanimate object.
Unique part of this project is,HC 05 BLUETOOTH MODULE IS EMPLOYED FOR WIRELESS TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL UNLIKE OTHER ANIMATRONIC PROJECTS WHICH USES XBEE MODULE.
At present, use of electronics weighing scale (machine) is increasing rapidly. It is even used at shop of foot path, where electric is not present. Everywhere it is installed, charging of battery of the weighing scale is necessary. Although, electric expense for its battery charging is low,
Recent innovations in vehicle suspension employs active suspension system which imparts best in class ride and handling of vehicle. Active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that controls the vertical movement of the wheels relative to the chassis or vehicle body with an onboard system,
