Projects

Smart Robot Car

The Smart Robot Car is a project developed using Arduino, equipped with sensors to detect obstacles and avoid collisions. The car can be controlled via an IR remote and includes features such as motor movement control and obstacle avoidance.

Project Demo Videos:

Key Features:

  • Obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensors
  • Motor control for forward, backward, left, and right movement
  • Controlled via an IR remote for manual commands
  • Real-time feedback and adjustments based on sensor input

Technologies Used:

  • Arduino Uno
  • Ultrasonic Sensor
  • IR Remote
  • Motor Driver Module
  • C++ for Arduino programming

Project Documentation:

This project demonstrates the use of embedded systems and real-time sensor data processing to achieve autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance. The robot car is designed to move freely in its environment while avoiding obstacles. The IR remote control adds flexibility for manual intervention when needed.
