Limitations of the Arduino
Obstacle Avoiding Car
Limited Functionality
The car can only avoid obstacles based on simple logic
and predefined distance thresholds.

Dependency on Sensors
Most designs rely on a single ultrasonic sensor, which
can result in blind spots or misdetections.

Environmental Sensitivity
Performance can degrade in noisy environments or
with complex obstacles.
Components Required for
Building the Car
Arduino Board The microcontroller acts as
the "brain" of the car.

Ultrasonic Sensor Measures distance by


emitting and receiving sound
waves.
Motor Driver Module Interfaces between the
Arduino and the motors to
control their direction and
speed.
DC Motors Typically two or four DC
motors are used for
movement.
Key Features of the Arduino
Obstacle Avoiding Car
Autonomous Navigation
Uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect and avoid obstacles in its path.

Sensor-Based Operation
Ultrasonic Sensor: Measures the distance to objects using sound waves.

Basic Movement Capabilities


Moves straight when the path is clear, stops when an
obstacle is detected, and turns to avoid obstacles.

Customizability
The car's features can be expanded with additional
modules, such as Bluetooth control, camera modules,
and servo motors.
Working Principle of the Arduino
Obstacle Avoiding Car
Initialization
The Arduino initializes the ultrasonic sensor and motor driver.

Continuous Monitoring
The ultrasonic sensor sends out sound waves and
calculates the distance to the nearest obstacle.

Decision-Making
The Arduino compares the measured distance to the
threshold and decides whether to move forward, stop, or
turn.

Motor Control
The motor driver adjusts motor speed and direction based on Arduino
instructions.
Practical Applications and Future Innovations

Warehouse Robots
Mimics small robots used in warehouses for material handling.

Delivery Systems
Provides insight into how autonomous delivery bots avoid obstacles.

Home Automation
Can be modified to help with household tasks.

Future Innovations
Builds foundational knowledge that can lead to advanced robotics projects.
