IntelliBot 2003
For our final project we decided to build a robot that could navigate from one location to any given target and avoid obstacles in its way. The robot body used a very primitive design that included a cardboard box for the body and Minute Maid wheel caps. A two wheeled design for the robot allowed us to program the bot so that it could turn while remaining in its position. Stepper motors were used to propel the wheels and navigation and obstacle avoidance was implemented using IR sensors.
