Obstacle Avoider Robotic Vehicle

Abstract

Now day’s many industries are using robots due to their high level of performance and reliability and which is a great help for human beings. The obstacle avoidance robotics is used for detecting obstacle and avoiding the collision. This is an autonomous robot. The design of obstacle avoidance robot requires the integration of many sensors according to their task .The obstacle detection is primary requirement of this autonomous robot. The robot gets the information from surrounding area through mounted sensors on the robot. Some sensing devices used for obstacle detection like bump sensor, infrared sensor, ultrasonic sensor etc. Ultrasonic sensor is most suitable for obstacle detection and it is of low cost and has high ranging capability. The project is designed to build an obstacle avoidance robotic vehicle using ultrasonic sensors for its movement. An Arduino uno is used to achieve the desired operation. A robot is a machine that can perform task automatically or with guidance. Robotics is generally a combination of computational intelligence and physical machines (motors). Computational intelligence involves the programmed instructions. This robotic vehicle is built, using an Arduino uno. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect any obstacle ahead of it and sends a command to the Arduino.
