Abstract

This paper involves the design and implementation of an obstacle-avoidance vehicle. The goal of this project is to build a vehicle that, when in motion, can recognize obstructions in its route and, in the absence of outside interference, alter course as essential. Based on sensor inputs, the robot determines the new direction to prevent a collision as the direction with the largest distance between the obstacle and the sensor. An ultrasonic wave sensor, which sends pulses to assess distance, was used in this implementation. In order to activate the obstacle avoidance attribute, the motor driver shield also regulates the movement of the DC motors for wheel movement and the servo motor for sensor movement. The orders are transmitted to the the Arduino micro controller chip, which manages the sensing and movement of the robotic vehicle and acts as its primary control unit. The robotic vehicle that was put into service was effective in picking out and avoiding objects that were in the ultrasonic sensor’s direct view
