Autonomous Robotics

Introduction

Autonomous robots are self-operating machines capable of performing tasks without human intervention. They use sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and control algorithms to navigate and make decisions.

Key Concepts

• Sensors (Ultrasonic, Infrared, LIDAR)

• Actuators & Motors (Servo, DC motors)

• Microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi)

• Path Planning & AI Integration

Project: Building an Autonomous Robot

Materials Required:

• Arduino Uno

• Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04)

• Motor Driver (L298N)

• Servo Motor

• Wheels & Chassis

• Battery Pack

Steps:

1. Assemble the robot chassis and attach motors.

2. Connect the ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles.

3. Write Arduino code to control movement.

4. Test and fine-tune the robot’s autonomy.
