Robotics project for TechX Challenge : dynamic obstacle avoidance

Abstract

Robotic obstacle avoidance is to move the robot around in setting whereby the robot will be able to avoid anything that is in its way. As technological advances, many people are choosing an alternative to get work done at a lower cost.

Robotics are picking up its efficiency at present but they are still not being able to fully replace a person’s work. Thus, there are still many research being done as we move towards a technologically advances environment.

In this project, the most efficient way for a robot to avoid obstacle and to make it as accurate as possible is being studied based on different algorithm that is available at this moment.

Avoiding obstacle based on dividing the laser’s sensing area into different parts and manipulate from there is chosen by the student as a more efficient method compared to the others. However, there are still limitation to it.

In conclusion, there is different algorithms for obstacle avoidance available with its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore many research are still going on.
