Your step-by-step guide to building an Arduino obstacle avoiding robot using IR and ultrasonic sensors

Have you always wanted to build a robot, but weren't sure how to get started? This course will take you step-by-step through the build process. Each section of the course includes lessons, assembly videos, sketches and demos. You will be able to show off your new obstacle avoidance robot based on the Arduino Uno by the end of the course.

Audience

This course is for anyone with an interest in Arduino and robotics. Students will get to assemble, code and test a functioning obstacle avoiding robot. It is recommended that you write some basic sketches using the Arduino Uno so you become familiar with the platform.

What you will learn:
