Abstract

This research discusses the power consumption analysis of the Barelang V base robot, which uses four brushed DC motors. The main objective of this research is to determine the capacity of the battery to store and supply the energy needed for the base robot. This research includes motor frequency testing, power consumption testing with three load variations and four PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) variations, electrical power calculation, battery capacity, and usage time. The measured variables include voltage, current, and power sourced from lithium polymer batteries using ESP8266, RS485, PZEM - 017, and Blynk, which will display and store real-time readings. Tests show that the optimal motor frequency for power efficiency is 285.000 Hz. Analysis of different load and PWM values significantly impacted power consumption, battery capacity, and operational duration. The average power consumption required for the basic robot to move for 4 minutes ranged from 142.67 Watts to 178.39 Watts. The battery capacity required for these conditions ranged from 0.476 Ah (476 mAh) to 0.598 Ah (598 mAh). If using a 4500 mAh Lithium Polymer (LiPo) 6S battery, the basic robot can move from 0.485 hours (29.10 minutes) to 0.607 hours (36.42 minutes). These findings help optimize the selection and use of batteries in basic robots to improve the operational functions of the robot.
