Mindstorm autonomous navigation robot

Auburn University students build a Robot capable of Autonomous navigation.In any robotics project, correct navigation plays very vital role and this project helps you out to solve this particular problem.

Useful things to know:

Lab View :  

LabVIEW is a tool for engineering students to speed up there production. It helps you to control applications with its build in libraries and drivers.

Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor :

 Transceivers work on a principle similar to radar or sonar which evaluate attributes of a target by interpreting the echoes from radio or sound waves respectively. Ultrasonic sensors generate high frequency sound waves and evaluate the echo which is received back by the sensor. Sensors calculate the time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the distance to an object.


Light Sensor :

A photoelectric sensor, or photo eye, is a device used to detect the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. They are used extensively in industrial manufacturing.

Beacon Light :  

A beacon is an intentionally conspicuous device designed to attract attention to a specific location.And in this project it is used to attract attention of light sensor connected with small motor on robot's head.
