ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to design a collision avoidance robot with the help of IR sensors and a microcontroller. The robot uses two IR sensors to sense any obstacle in its path. The robot designed is capable of moving in an environment which has obstacles avoiding collisions.
The designed robot is a three wheeled robot with differential steering. It has a two DC geared motor and small tact switch used for driving wheels. The main controller of the collision avoidance robot is implemented in a PIC microcontroller.
. I. INTRODUCTION
In today's modern life, technology has contributed in people's lives in many ways. We are in a very fast period of technological advancements, progress and production that would certainly make living easy and convenient, robot is one of this. Robots are human like machines capable of doing tasks they are programmed to do. They have shown significance in decreasing human work load especially in industries. This is under robotics that deals with the design, development, construction, operation, and application of robots and computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans, in dangerous or manufacturing processes, or simply just resemble humans.
Robotics has been often seen to copy or imitate the human behavior and often manage tasks and activities in a similar manner. Nowadays robotics are in a rapidly developing
