Obstacles invariant navigation of an autonomous robot based on GPS

Robotics has a momentous features and application in our daily life. It can make our life faster easier and comfortable. Many researchers around the world are trying to develop an effective robotic system for household or industrial equipment management purposes. Global positioning System (GPS) is good for reaching high accuracy techniques to track the equipment current position. Motivating from this works in this paper we proposed the design and development of a prototype system which is based on GPS navigation and IR sensor for detecting and avoiding obstacle in dynamic context. As per the initial experimentation, we found out that the proposed approach of obstacle avoiding mechanism is appealing and useful to the user. Some of the potential applications of the proposed system include household appliances or hospital apparatus movement and children guidance.
