Abstract
The last few years the focus on automation and the use of robotics rapidly increased in
both the industrial fields and personal usage. so it's normal to see the integration of robots
in our daily life. during COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions, this trend has grown
with a widespread usage of robotics to reduce human contact as possible.
In this project we aim to build a robot that will map the environment. The robot will use
LIDAR to measure the distance between itself and its surroundings to create the map.
The robot will also be able to autonomously move between given points on the map using
the most efficient route. The robot must dynamically adapt to any change on the
environment (like adding or removing obstacles) and reflect this change on the map and
routes it takes. The robot will have two operation modes:
1. Autonomous mode: the robot will move and map the area autonomously without
any assistance from the user.
2. User controlled mode: the user will control the movement of the robot using a
glove and hand gestures.
We will use the following components this project:
• LIDAR: to measure the distances to build the map.
• Flex sensor: to read the hand gestures.
• Raspberry pi: main controller for the robot.
This project will be the base for more advanced projects like a smart carrier robot.
