Autonomous Vehicle Implementation using Arduino Board

The project is designed to build an obstacle avoidance robotic vehicle using ultrasonic sensors for its movement. An Arduino ATmega328p is used to achieve the desired operation. A robot is a machine that can perform task automatically or with guidance. Robotics is generally a combination of computational intelligence and physical machines (motors). Computational intelligence involves the programmed instructions. The project proposes robotic vehicle that has an intelligence built in it such that it guides itself whenever an obstacle comes ahead of it. Further the robot uses the GPS navigation to reach the destination once the user has entered the source and destination place. This robotic vehicle is built, using an Arduino ATmega328p. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect any obstacle ahead of it and sends a command to the Arduino. The robot can be also be made fully automatic that is the robot will sense the obstacle and change its path on its own without any manual help. The vehicle will be programmed in such a way that it will sense any obstacle in its path and change its path accordingly. Further, the driver can enter the source and destination places and the vehicle would find the path and drive upto the destination on its own using the GPS technology.
