Project Title

Touch Navigator

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to implement a robot car which will follow the path drawn on the touch screen.

Objectives & Introduction

  • The prime objective of this project is traversing a robotic car autonomously through specific map or grid,depending upon the points drawn on the touchscreen.communication between the user interface i.e. touchscreen and the car is achieved via wireless communication. Obstacle sensors are used to detect obstacles and avoid collision.
