A Design of Obstacle Avoiding Robot

Abstract

Obstacle detection and avoidance can be considered as the central issue in designing mobile robots. This technology provides the robots with senses which it con use to troverse in unfamiliar environments without do morging itself. In this paper on Obstacle Avoiding Robot is designed which can detect obstacles in its path and maneuver around them without marking any collision. It is a robot vehicle that works on Arduino Microcontroller and employs ultrasonic distance censor to detect obstacles. The Arduino board was selected as the microcontroller platform and its Software counterpart, Arduino software, was used to carry out the programming. Being a fully autonomous robot, it successfully maneuvered in unknown environ- ments without any collision. The hardware used in this project is widely available and inexpensive which makes the robot easily replicable.
