Reactive Wall Following Robot

Development of a reactive wall-following robot capable of navigating autonomously in a question-mark-shaped environment.

Overview

This project aimed to develop a reactive wall-following robot capable of navigating autonomously in a question-mark-shaped environment. The robot was equipped with LIDAR sensors to detect obstacles and used a reactive control strategy to follow the wall.

Features

  • Reactive Wall Following: The robot navigates autonomously in a question-mark-shaped environment.
  • LIDAR Sensors: The robot is equipped with LIDAR sensors to detect obstacles.
  • Reactive Control Strategy: The robot uses a reactive control strategy to follow the wall.

Technologies

  • Programming Languages: Python
  • Libraries: ROS
  • Tools: Gazebo
