Designed and built an autonomous robot capable of navigating obstacles using 1D Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensors and encoders. The project involved optimizing sensor placement for maximum coverage, integrating control logic on an Arduino, and adhering to budget constraints through the use of Gantt charts and decision matrices. The robot demonstrated efficient obstacle detection and navigation, showcasing a balance between hardware design, software programming, and project management.
