Project Overview
Developed a self-navigating robot capable of solving a maze without human intervention. This project was a deep dive into the intersection of Classical Mechanics and Embedded Systems.
Key Features
- Sensor Fusion: Utilized three ultrasonic sensors for real-time distance measurement and obstacle avoidance.
- Algorithm: Implemented the "Wall Follower" algorithm combined with a PID Controller to ensure smooth movements and precise turns.
- Hardware: Built on the Arduino platform with high-torque DC motors and an L298N driver.
Technical Challenges
- Fine-tuning the friction coefficients and motor speeds to maintain stability on different surfaces.
- Optimizing power consumption for extended operation.
