My first robot is “Geronimo” and it is a simple autonomous robot with an ultrasonic sensor for obstacles avoindance. This robot can be built by a newbie of robotics. The robot, very basic and simple, goes straight and verifies if there are obstacles. If it found some obstacle, it turns the ‘head’ and sees at the right and at the left in order to verify where the street is more free. Then it goes where the street is more free. Nothing of special, but it was my first robot!
