Sensor Technology: Understanding how sensors detect obstacles and how this data is processed
for navigation.

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Students will enhance their troubleshooting skills as
they refine their robot’s design to improve obstacle avoidance.

Observation

In the “Obstacle Avoider” mechatron activity, students will observe how their robotic vehicle
navigates its environment by detecting and avoiding obstacles. When powered on, the robot will use
sensors (like ultrasonic or infrared) to measure distances. As it
approaches an obstacle, it will automatically change direction to
avoid it, demonstrating real-time decision-making.

Application

Autonomous Cars: Obstacle avoider technology is essential in
self-driving cars to navigate and avoid collisions on the road.
