Automated Robot with Metal Detection

 The final project consist of a vehicle model which by means of the PIC 18f 4550 algorithm will go and search an entire rectangular room to see whether any metal elements are present. On its way it will be avoiding any type of obstacles with the aid of ultrasonic sensors. This project was chosen since there is a great interest in robotics as robotics is the new generation of technology. Robotics is also a way of helping people to suffer less in their everyday life style. For example this robot which is being built would help in wars for when the soldiers are walking in a mine yard so to detect where the mines are. This robot would be driven via the two DC motors installed in the Rover 5 chassis of the vehicle.  It should also avoid obstacles thanks to the ultrasonic sensors. The project consists of building various blocks which includes power supply, driving and steering and sensing all controlled by a single embedded PIC microcontroller. The microcontroller would be programmed using assembly language
