Remote and Autonomous Controlled Robotic Car based on Arduino with Real Time Obstacle Detection and Avoidance

Abstract

In robotic car, real time obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance are significant issues. In this study, design and implementation of a robotic car have been presented with regards to hardware, software and communication environments with real time obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance. Arduino platform, android application and Bluetooth technology have been used to implementation of the system. In this paper, robotic car design and application with using sensor programming on a platform has been presented. This robotic device has been developed with the interaction of Android-based device. Arduino Uno has been used as the robot's brain. The robot has many hardware components such as Bluetooth module, PIR sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and buzzers. It also consists of the software component that uses a mobile application. The desired direction or mode by mobile application can be selected by the user of the robotic car to control the movement of the car. The user can control the robot movements from his/her own intelligent device or take the robot in automatic mode and let the car drive its own way. Thus, the robot can flee from the obstacle and also detect live objects. The purpose of this article is to alert the civilian and military personnel to potential terrorist attacks especially in military areas with live detectable sensors.
