Obstacle Avoidance Robot Based on Arduino for Live Video Transmission and Surveillance

The development of an obstacle-avoiding robot is a crucial step toward the development of autonomous or unmanned vehicles. These vehicles are used in situations that do not allow for human interaction, such as transportation, surveillance, and rescue. This future strategy will advance humanity’s understanding of unmanned vehicles significantly. This article implements an obstacle-avoiding robot that can detect objects in front of it using an ultrasonic sensor and a microcontroller. The ultrasonic sensor is used in this prototype, and the microcontroller configures the Arduino Uno board to measure distances using the Arduino IDE software. It also encompasses a wireless camera for live video transmission, which can be accessed via an IP address by a variety of terminals including laptops, smart phones tablets, and personal computers. This is accomplished by programming the ESP 32 camera module, which also functions as a Wi-Fi Internet and Bluetooth module. The live streaming camera is an ESP 32 CAMERA module that was programmed with Arduino IDE software and a CP2102 USB-TTL converter.
