Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe a low-cost autonomous robotic car which can be run without any remote control or under any human’s guidance. Robot’s main advantage is that it can replace human force in high risk and dangerous job avoiding the risk of human life. The robotic car must be designed in small size, easily operable and of course of low-cost. Along with the obstacle detection and avoidance, this can also be a source of entertainment of people of all the age groups. It’s further implication in different types of system can make it more useful. For instance, this small part can be added to the navigation system which can guide partially visually impaired persons, it can be added in an automatic wheelchair which can be used by physically handicapped persons, and it can be used for industrial purposes also where robots are used to pick and place some objects in defined places etc.
