Abstract
This research paper presents the development of an obstacle-avoiding robot car using Arduino, designedto autonomously navigate by detecting and responding to obstacles in its path. The robot employs anArduino microcontroller as its primary control unit, interfaced with a servo motor, motor driver, and SR(ultrasonic) sensor. The servo motor assists in adjusting the robot's direction, while the SR sensor detectsnearby obstacles, enabling real-time adjustments to the vehicle's trajectory. The motor driver facilitatesprecise control over the DC motors that power the wheels. The programming, executed in the ArduinoIDE, integrates libraries that streamline communication between the Arduino, motor driver, and sensormodules. This obstacle avoidance system can direct itself by altering its course upon detecting obstacles,showcasing fundamental autonomous behaviour. The project serves as a prototype for potential futureapplications in autonomous vehicle navigation and robotics, where efficient and safe obstacle avoidance iscritical.
