Build an Obstacle-Avoiding Robot with Arduino Uno

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine a robot that scans its surroundings and steers away from obstacles like a car parking itself. With this kit, you build exactly that-a 2-wheel drive robot that uses three ultrasonic sensors and a potential field algorithm to navigate without collisions. It's the perfect hands-on introduction to reactive AI in robotics.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a fully autonomous robot on a 2WD chassis that detects obstacles from three directions-front, left, and right-and dynamically adjusts its path using the potential field method. The servo-mounted sensor scans for the safest direction, turning the robot away from walls and objects, just like a self-parking car.

What You'll Learn

• Reactive navigation using potential field algorithms
• Integrating multiple ultrasonic sensors for 180-degree awareness
• Controlling DC motors and a servo with Arduino for real-time response
• Programming decision-making logic for autonomous movement in Arduino C++

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students tackling AI and robotics projects, B.Tech first-year electronics enthusiasts building their first autonomous robot, and ATL Tinkering Lab teams learning sensor-based navigation. It's also a great choice for Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping obstacle avoidance systems.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
