An Obstacle Detecting Robot

When first trying our hand at robotics, we’re generally in a hurry to build a mobile robot that has a degree of autonomy. It’s with this aim in mind that we’ve produced this article, to enable you, in record time, to build a mobile robot capable of detecting and avoiding obstacles. Of course, given the relative simplicity of the solutions employed, it will be fairly easy to catch it out, but as long as you take a little care over the obstacles it might encounter, it’ll still create quite an impression. And you’ll be able to use this starting point as a springboard for your own developments. The kit is distributed by Lextronic
