Abstract:
The Robocar is an autonomous car that combines obstacle avoidance with path
tracking capability all in one package. The Robocar patrols a given target track
while avoiding obstacles on its way. Once an obstacle is detected, the Robocar is
reversed for a specific time and changes its direction and moves forward .All the
processing is done in real time on a remote computer using OPENCV.
The vehicle is equipped with ultra-sonic sensor that scans the path for the obstacles
on its way and a wireless CCTV camera for path tracking .The on-board electronics
are controlled by a PIC microcontroller .The Robocar utilizes sonar for measuring
the distance of obstacle thus providing obstacle avoidance. It includes the design
and development of a cost-effective, reliable, un-manned and intelligent obstacle
detection system that detects dangers on the road and suggests a course of action.
The system qualifies path-tracking, obstacle detection and classification and in-time
decision making.
