Bluetooth Controll Robot
The Bluetooth-Controlled Obstacle-Avoiding Robot is a small robotic vehicle that can be controlled wirelessly using a Bluetooth controller. The robot uses an Arduino as its main controller to receive commands, control the motors, and monitor the distance in front of the robot.
The robot uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles. When an obstacle is detected, the robot can stop, move backward, and turn to avoid the obstacle. The Bluetooth controller allows the user to control the movement of the robot wirelessly.
This project demonstrates the basic concepts of robotics, Arduino programming, wireless communication, sensor interfacing, motor control, and obstacle detection.
