ObtaBOT Obstacle Avoiding and Following Robot Kit

Basic Arduino Robot Kit that uses ultrasonics sensor and Arduino nano as main controller.

Building an obstacle avoiding robot can be quite fun and challenging both electronically and in software.

It is important to know the circuit elements that you will use in the construction of the obstacle sensing robot and to provide ease of use of these circuit elements. At this point, Easyboard Controller with Arduino Nano is used as the motherboard in our Obstacle avoiding & Tracking robot kit.

How Does a Obstacle Avoiding Robot Work?

Obstacle avoiding robot kit overcomes the obstacles in front of it thanks to the HCSR-04 Ultrasonic Distance sensor it has in its hardware.

As starting there are two modes of Robot, these are:

1. Avoid obstacles, Robot goes forward and turns at some known angle to avoid obstacles when ultrasonics sensor see something at front.
2. Follow the front object and maintain distance, Robot goes forward and maintains some dead band distance between front moving object.

You can change these modes thanks to the dipswitch on the Eacyboard Main Controller Board.

Our obstacle avoiding robot kit uses arduino software. The arduino codes of our robot are shared with you free of charge.

The software can be developed and is open source.

Comes as unassembled With full of Parts. Assembly Of robot takes little time.
