Description
An Obstacle Avoidance Robot Car Kit is a set of components and instructions for building a robot car that can navigate around obstacles. The kit includes a microcontroller, motors, wheels, sensors, battery, and a chassis to house the components. The sensors, typically infrared or ultrasonic, detect obstacles and the microcontroller processes the sensor data to control the movement of the motors and steer the car around obstacles. The user assembles the components and writes the code to make the robot car avoid obstacles and navigate through its environment. Obstacle avoidance robot cars are commonly used as educational tools to teach the basics of robotics, electronics, and programming. They can also be used for practical applications, such as autonomous navigation in warehouses or factories. The Obstacle Avoidance Robot Car Kit provides a fun and educational platform for people of all ages to learn about robotics and programming.
