Object Follower Walking Robot

Today most of the research scholars are choosing their research area as robotics. Imagine there is robot which can follow you wherever you go. Isn’t amazing?? Through this project you are going to build a unique Walking Robot which can follow anything.

You will need an Arduino Uno board for interfacing microcontroller with IR Sensors and Servo Motors. Here the IR Sensors will act as Eye of the Walking Robot. You will program the microcontroller in such a way that say whenever the IR sensors detect any object, then only the walking robot will start walking. Let say there is no object is detected by the sensor, then your robot will not walk. If the IR sensors detects any object on right side, immediately the robot will start turning right side. Similarly you will program the microcontroller for turning left, when object is detected on left side and if object is detected on both side the robot will start walking forward.

Project Description:

1. Arduino Uno: The digital and analog input/output pins equipped in this board can be interfaced to various expansion boards and other circuits. Serial communication interface is a feature in this board, including USB which will be used to load the programs from computer.
2. Servo Motors: A servomotor is a closed-loop servomechanism that uses position feedback to control its motion and final position. The input to its control is a signal (either analogue or digital) representing the position
3. Motor Driver: Generally the Arduino board is not capable of providing required amount of current for running the motors. So we use a device called Motor Driver which will provide sufficient current for driving the motors.
4. IR Sensors: The component we use to find whether there is any obstacle in the path in which our trolley is going are IR sensors (Infrared).

Project Implementation:

1. Interface the IR Sensors and Servo Motors with the Arduino board
2. Power your robot and upload the code
3. The robot will start walking in forward direction.
4. Place some objects in your robot path and test your Object Following Walking Robot

Software requirements:

1. Arduino IDE : You will be needing Arduino IDE software to write and upload the programming logic onto the Arduino Uno board

Programming language: Arduino Programming (C++)
