The Obstacle Avoidance System is a smart, sensor-driven technology designed to enable autonomous robots or vehicles to detect and avoid obstacles in their path. It enhances the mobility and decision-making capabilities of machines, making them ideal for applications in robotics, automation, delivery systems, and autonomous vehicles.
This system uses distance-measuring sensors like ultrasonic sensors to detect objects in real time. A microcontroller (e.g., Arduino Uno) processes this sensor data and determines whether the robot should move forward, stop, or change direction. The system ensures smooth navigation and prevents collisions, especially in dynamic or unknown environments.
The core working principle of the Obstacle Avoidance System revolves around ultrasonic wave reflection. The ultrasonic sensor emits high-frequency sound waves and listens for their echo after bouncing off nearby objects. Based on the time it takes for the echo to return, the system calculates the distance between the robot and the object.
If the object is detected within a predefined threshold distance, the Arduino Uno processes this data and commands the motors to stop or change direction by controlling a motor driver module. This feedback mechanism allows the robot to navigate safely around obstacles.
System Initialization:
The Arduino initializes all connected modules including sensors and motors.
Sensor Monitoring:
The ultrasonic sensor constantly measures the distance to objects in front of the robot.
Distance Evaluation:
If the measured distance is greater than a safe threshold, the robot continues moving forward.
Obstacle Detected:
If an object is detected within the threshold range, the Arduino takes corrective action—stopping or turning the robot left/right.
Motor Control:
Based on logic, the Arduino sends signals to the motor driver to control the movement of motors accordingly.
Continuous Loop:
This process continues in real time, enabling smooth and safe autonomous movement.
