What you'll learn
The Obstacle Avoider Robots course is a practical robotics program designed to teach learners how to build and program an autonomous robot that can detect obstacles and change its movement accordingly. The course combines electronics, Arduino programming, DC motors, motor drivers, ultrasonic sensors, servo motors, and autonomous navigation logic.
Students learn how a robot measures the distance between itself and surrounding objects and uses programmed decision-making to stop, turn, and select a clearer path. Through hands-on projects, learners develop practical skills in sensor integration, motor control, robotic assembly, programming, calibration, and troubleshooting.
