Abstract:
In or final year project, we worked in a team to design and build an autonomous robot. The world is going towards autonomy which means independent of any external control, and so is our project based on. An Autonomous Robot is self-moving in the given environment and capable of avoiding the obstacles and then rerouting to its moving path. The thing we have introduced is object detection. Robot autonomously moves into the environment, detects the obstacles, avoid them, it will also search and detect the object and then grab it and move to the desired area. The object is bottles in the given environment. The bottle is detected by the camera in which we are using image processing to train the robot to detect the bottle, collect it using cage mounted at the front and finally roll the bottle to the recycling area. The obstacle detection is done by the ultrasonic sensor which detects the obstacle in front of the robot and avoids it by changing the path and when the obstacle is vanished it comes to its original path. In our project we are using Pi-camera for object detection, ardiouno and Raspberry-pi as our microcontrollers of the robot in which programming and integration of the components is done for making our robot do the desired tasks.
