The Autonomous Roboat

The design and creation of this prototype autonomous roboat was done for class credit. The robot is controlled using an Ardunio Uno, Parallex Board of Education Shield, two DC motors, an ultrasonic sensor, a photocell, and a 7.4V LiPo battery. The roboat was designed with two main objectives: detect and avoid objects in front of it and light following.
