Low Cost Obstacle Avoidance Robot

This paper deals with a low cost solution to obstacle avoidance for a mobile robot. This paper also prese nts a dynamic steering algorithm which ensures that the robot does n't have to stop in front of an obstacle which allows robot to na vigate smoothly in an unknown environment, avoiding collisions. The obstacle avoidance strategy has been described. Obstacle avoidance strategy and working of robot is greatly d ependent on the detection of obstacles by sensors and correspon ding response of robot. Working principle of sensors, limitation of their use and obstacle avoidance algorithm has been discussed in detail.
