Mini obstacle avoidance robot using Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC): article / Khairul Nizam Abdul Halim

This paper focuses on building obstacle avoidance mechanism for mobile robot that will safely and reliably navigate in the close proximity of obstacles and in confined space, while using range sensor for real-time obstacle detection. The robot must provide a collision free movement by detecting the obstacles thus avoiding it. The movement was controlled by the microcontroller, base on information from sensors. A program using Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) will be developed for the robot. The program will include the modeled obstacles avoidance and collision-free maneuvers when moving. The program will be implemented to the physical robot to demonstrate its efficiency. MPLAB was used to develop the software for the controller and the controller is PIC16F84A
