        Abstract
        This project is aimed at the design, control, and operation of a mobile robot intended for industrial
applications.This project is a redesign of an existing work with features added to meet the current trend in robotics and in
computer networking. A completely mobile robot with more sensors was achieved. A previous work on robotic arm was
analysed with a view of improving it and meeting the limitations encountered (Insufficient motor torque, Heavy robot
weight, six degrees of freedom failure, and Lack of flexibility in the entire system). Through Research, these limitations
where met. Other Achievements Included the useof encoders and decoder at transmission and reception ends, and the use
of printed circuit boards (PCB).Although this project was cost-intensive, time-consuming, and brain-tasking;our mobile
robot (JUDCOM1) which was once fiction is now a reality, thanks to the Art of Electronics. Robots like this find
application in Auto-manufacturing industries, Electronic manufacturing industries, Power/Energy industries, Health-care
industries, aeronautic and aviation amongst several others.
