Path Traversal and Obstacle Sensing Robot using Arduino

This paper details the development and implementation of an intelligent robotic system utilizing the Arduino Uno microcontroller, aiming to create a versatile robot capable of autonomously navigating predefined paths while dynamically avoiding obstacles in real-time. Through the integration of infrared sensors for precise line following and ultrasonic sensors for accurate obstacle detection, the robot employs data-driven decision making processes to enhance adaptability in unpredictable environments. The central role of the Arduino Uno is highlighted as it executes navigation algorithms, demonstrating successful hardware and software fusion. Empirical evidence from systematic experimentation underscores the robot’s efficiency and reliability in complex environments. This project’s practical implementation of Arduino-based control systems for autonomous robots contributes significantly to the field of robotics, offering potential applications in automated material handling, surveillance, and exploration where precise navigation and obstacle avoidance are paramount.
