Snow-plow robot: Arduino feasibility

Projects General Guidance
1

I am developing a project about a sort of snow-plow robot. The robot will have the following elements:

  • 2 Brushless DC motors, 24V
  • 3 linear actuators
  • A remote control (with a playstation controller or similar)
  • A camera
  • A led-light
  • The power supply should be by wire (no battery pack on board)

I am new to the Arduino world, and I tried to make up a general idea about its functionalities, but my question is: what type of board is the most appropriate to drive my robot? Is the Arduino Uno a good choice?
Speaking about the motors and actuators: should be the supplier to provide me with the arduino shield or I can find something "universal"?

Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

Cameras and Arduinos are not exactly best of friends. There's the Pixycam but that's about as far as Arduino can get with cameras. Unless all you want to do is have the Arduino send commands to it to control power on/off, tilt/pan, and other such controls.

Make sure the motors have some form of control built in or that you have suitable motor drivers for them. Same accounts for the linear regulators. If powered from mains, you also need an appropriate power supply, able to deliver stall current of the motors. Without knowing any details of those motors (especially their current draw) and actuators we can't give any suggestions on control hardware.
