The document describes the hardware and software used to build an obstacle avoiding robot car. It uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller board along with an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles. The Arduino IDE is used as the software environment to write code and upload programs to the Arduino board. The robot car uses the ultrasonic sensor to detect surrounding obstacles and the Arduino board to control the car's movement so it can navigate around obstacles autonomously without colliding with them.

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE AND

SOFTWARE USED.
Hardware
Arduino UNO – quantity-1
Arduino UNO is a microcontroller board
based on Atmel’s ATmega328P.
It was initially released by Arduino in 2010
It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6
can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analogue
inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and
a reset button.
Software used
Arduino IDE( integrated development
environment)
The Arduino Integrated Development
Environment – or Arduino Software (IDE) –
contains a text editor for writing code, a
message area, a text console, a toolbar with
buttons for common functions and a series of
menus. It connects to the Arduino hardware
to upload programs and communicate with
them.

Sensors used
Ultrasonic sensor
An ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that
measures the distance to an object using
ultrasonic sound waves.

An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send


and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back
information about an object’s proximity.

High-frequency sound waves reflect from


boundaries to produce distinct echo patterns.

This project describes about an obstacle


avoiding robot car which is controlled by
ultrasonic sensor. Detecting and avoiding
obstacles are the central issues while
constructing a robotic device. This technology
facilitates the robot car with the senses to
detect obstacles and thereby transverse in
unfamiliar environment without damaging
itself. The robot car is constructed using
ultrasonic sensors to detect the obstacles in
surrounding and controlled by Arduino UNO.
The ultrasonic sensor is the best sensor to
sense surrounding obstacles. It is compact yet
with high ranging capability and very high
performance which is available at low
cost. The project is developed such that the
robot that will move according the code
assigned but find the free space to move
around while navigating the hurdles. The
Arduino obstacle avoiding robot car is
Bluetooth enabled. Thus, it can be controlled
by any Android mobile or tablet. By
downloading the Android application from
Google Play Store, the app can be connected
to the Bluetooth module and required
commands can be sent. The hardware used in
robot car is easily available and inexpensive,
thus making it easily replicable. However, this
robot can also be made using other sensors,
like light sensors, line sensors and even
putting a camera would also be really helpful.
By putting a camera, the robot can travel even
those places which are inaccessible by the
controller, if needed and send information
about that place.

An autonomous robot is capable of traversing


on its own in an unknown and unstructured
environment. It is equipped with the
computing intelligence to sense the
surrounding, detect obstacle in the path and
move in some other direction of the unknown
unstructured environment while avoiding the
collision. The design of Obstacle avoiding
robot allows the robot to navigate its way by
avoiding obstacles, which is preliminary
requirement for any mobile autonomous
robot.
