Obstacle Avoiding Robot Kit with Arduino Uno + Ultrasonic
Obstacle Avoiding Robot Kit – Arduino Uno + Ultrasonic Sonar That Sweeps for the Best Escape Path
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you assemble a fully autonomous robot that detects walls and furniture using an ultrasonic range finder, then uses a servo-mounted sensor to scan left and right, choosing the clearest direction. It is the perfect introduction to robotics logic, sensor integration, and motor control — all while watching a real machine think and move on its own.
What You'll Build
You'll create a compact, two-wheel-drive robot that drives forward until the ultrasonic sensor spots an obstacle ahead. The servo sweeps the sensor side to side, the Arduino compares distances, and the robot turns toward the open path. It's a working demonstration of autonomous decision-making that you can test on the floor of your room, a corridor, or a maze.
What You'll Learn
- How an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor measures distance with sound pulses and returns values to the Arduino
- Programming an SG90 servo to sweep and scan a field of view for obstacle detection
- Controlling two TT gear motors through an L298N motor driver to achieve forward, backward, and turning motion
- Writing obstacle avoidance logic that prioritises safe, collision-free navigation based on sensor data

Who This Kit Is For
This obstacle-avoiding robot is an ideal first project for ATL Tinkering Lab students, CBSE Class 6–10 robotics clubs, and young innovators preparing for school science exhibitions. It also serves as a quick practical demonstration for B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years who want to see sensor–actuator loops in action. Parents and educators looking for a hands‑on STEM gift will find it straightforward to supervise and deeply satisfying to complete.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion from the QR code or send a photo via WhatsApp. The system has seen every wiring step and can pinpoint where your robot may be stuck, suggesting exact corrections.
Does the kit include batteries?
Yes — two 18650 lithium cells and a holder are included. You will need a separate 18650 charger (not included) to charge them before first use.
Can I reuse the parts for other Arduino projects?
Absolutely. After building this robot, you can disassemble the chassis and use the Arduino, motor driver, servo, and sensors for DIY RC cars, line followers, or any experiment that requires motor control and distance sensing.
Is this suitable for a school robotics competition?
Yes, the obstacle-avoiding logic is directly applicable to many inter-school competitions like IRC League and ATL Marathon challenges. The kit follows a modular design that judges appreciate for documenting the build process.
Ultrasonic sensor detects walls and servo sweeps to choose best escape direction. Autonomous navigation basics.
