World with Ease
Obstacle avoidance robots are essential for safe and efficient
navigation in dynamic environments. These advanced systems
use sensors and algorithms to detect and avoid obstacles,
ensuring smooth and reliable movement.

const int RightMotorBackward = 5; - Assign pins for controlling the robot's motors and the ultrasonic sensor.
- Attach a servo motor to help the robot look left and right.
#define trig_pin A1 - Position the servo motor to look straight ahead and check the distance in front.

Servo servo_motor; // Servo name Continuously check the distance in front of the robot.
void setup() {
// Initialize motors and sensors - If something is close (within 20 cm):
} - Stop the robot.
void loop() { - Move the robot backward a little.
// Main control loop for the robot
} - Check the distance to the right and then to the left.
int readPing() { - Turn the robot in the direction with more space (right or left).
// Read distance from the ultrasonic sensor - If nothing is close:
}
void moveStop() { - Move the robot forward.
// Stop all motor movements
}
void moveForward() {
3 HELPER FUNCTIONS
// Move the robot forward - Look right or left: Move the servo to the right or left and measure the distance.
} - Read distance: Measure the distance in front. If no obstacle is detected,
void moveBackward() {
// Move the robot backward
assume it's far away.
} - Move: Stop, go forward, go backward, or turn based on the situation.
void turnRight() {
// Turn the robot to the right
}
