Abstract
Inaccurate control of the industrial thermal processes occurs when there is no operator involvement in monitoring temperature set points. This document will examine the specifics of a temperature controlled mobile robot (MoBot) with the use of PIC16F877A microcontroller and LM 35 as the temperature sensor for the input feed data. The project is primarily about acquiring the temperature measured by the sensor to determine the state and the speed of the mobile robot. The amount of temperature will dictate the state and the duty cycle of the mobile robot. Result show that the accuracy of the temperature sensor utilized in the project ended to 98.31% and the MoBot was able to work properly in different PWM values as triggered by the data from LM35.
