Development of a mobile robot using Arduino Uno

Abstract

A mobile robot is a self-operating machine that can move within its surroundings without human control, either autonomously or semi-autonomously. The robots are outfitted with a range of sensors, actuators, and control systems that allow them to move and complete tasks in different environments. Mobile robots are utilized in various sectors like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and for domestic purposes like robotic vacuum cleaners. A mobile robot's main goal is to carry out tasks or functions while navigating its surroundings. The objectives may involve activities such as navigation, exploration, inspection, transportation, surveillance, assistance, and research. Mobile robots are created and coded to perform particular tasks, with their goals being dictated by the specific applications in which they are used. In an industrial setting, the goal may be to transport materials efficiently, while in a search and rescue mission, the goal could be to explore and locate survivors in dangerous environments. The main objective is to allow the robot to move and operate independently or with partial autonomy in order to accomplish its desired objectives. Sensors, actuators, control system, power source, localisation and navigation techniques have used in our developed mobile robot.
