Project Summary

  This project aims to control the movement of autonomous robots in synchronized manner and make circular formation. Robots  avoids  obstacle or any hurdle. Two robots sense and avoid each other, and moves in leader follower manner to make formation. Each robot use ultrasonic sensors to get nearby robot and obstacle information. Arduino mega is used to generate control signal. Each robot sensors measures distance of nearby object and send distance information to the controller. This information close  the  loop and consequently, controller generate a control signal for the motor driver unit to control the motion of the robot in coordination with the neighboring robot.

Project Objectives

Project objective is to avoid obstacles then formation through autonomous prototype.

Project Implementation Method

First of all, we studied about our projects(Literature Review).In this, we choose final components that we have used to make cost efficent.Then, we made its hardware and implement components and coding in arduino. Then integration between all of these to make formation by avoiding hurdles.  

Benefits of the Project

Basically, we made generic autonomous prototype. Its modified form can be used in different fields.

• Agriculture
• Sensory network
• Mapping and exploring.
• Search & Rescue.
• Surveillance
• Cleaning of toxic elements & tackling dangerous tasks.                                             

 For example,

In the field of agriculture, plantation begins with ploughing the land and sowing seeds. The old traditional method plough attached to an OX and tractors needs human involvement to carry the process. The driving force behind this work is to reduce the human interference in the field of agriculture and to make it cost effective. In this work, apart of the land is taken into consideration and the robot introduced localizes the path and can navigate itself without human action.Its modified robust structure can be used for seeding purpose through line formation in leader follower manner. In this, there is separate place for water,seeds and digging tool. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

These protype are fully autonomous.Ultrasonar sensors senses and give input to arduino.It takes decision on this inputs which enable robots to perform specific tasks (circular formation) collectively  and perform line formation in leader follower sense
