An Autonomous Robot Framework for Path Finding and Obstacle Evasion

Abstract

Abstract — The modern growth of computer and its related hardware is consequence of the invention of the transistor. The advent of transistor principally revolutionized the hardware engineering by reducing the hardware size and increasing the efficiency. Now, we are swarmed in with the influx of sophisticated computer gadgets and communication devices, combining ingenious ideas and state of the art designs. When the history of world would be written surely out contemporary age would be called the age of science and technology. The marvels of science and technology has not only bewildered human minds but also brought convenience and quality to human life. Our project is continuation of this tradition of science. We have endeavored to design an autonomous path tracker vehicle. It has limitless possibilities of usage and it would certainly become a future workhorse. It can be used to detect the theft vehicles. Autonomous robot for path finding and obstacle evasion is a vehicle, which follows the path in two different ways, which are: i) Line Follower – It is a vehicle, which is used to follow the reflecting line drawn on the floor. It captures line position with IR sensors. The sensors will be mounted at front end of the robot, ii) Obstacle Handling – When an obstacle is appeared on the following line we will detect through a sensor.
