NITRO Educational Mobile Robot Platform for Maze Solving and Obstacle Avoidance

This article presents a Nitro (Network of IcT Robo Clubs project) educational mobile robot platform. The aim is to create a mobile robot platform suitable for beginners’ students in the field of robotics. This article describes the development of a mobile robot platform with an ultrasonic sensor and a servo motor, with the ability to autonomously solve the maze and avoid obstacles. The main components, design, hardware, algorithms, and software for maze solving and obstacle avoidance are described. Finally, the test results of the control algorithms are presented.
