Object-Following Robot

University of South Florida · Cybersecurity · Minor in Legal Studies

Built an Arduino-based object-following robot as Software Lead on a team project. The robot used an ultrasonic sensor and two infrared sensors to guide movement, with two DC motors controlled through an L298N motor driver.

Project details

  • Project goal

    A team-built robot designed to follow an object using sensor input.

  • Controller

    Uses an Arduino Uno to coordinate sensing and movement.

  • Distance sensing

    Uses an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to measure distance to an object.

  • Infrared sensing

    Uses two infrared sensors as additional inputs for movement decisions.

  • Motor control

    Drives two DC motors through an L298N motor driver.

  • Movement logic

    Uses distance thresholds and turning decisions to guide object-following behavior, with Arduino C/C++ software.
