Abstract

This paper presents the development of wall following and obstacle avoiding robot using a Fuzzy Logic Controller. The ultrasonic sensors are employed to measure the distances between robot and the wall, and between the robot and the obstacle. A low cost Raspberry Pi camera is employed to measure the left/right distance between the robot and the obstacle. The Fuzzy Logic Controller is employed to steer the mobile robot to follow the wall and avoid the obstacle according to the multi sensor inputs. The outputs of Fuzzy Logic Controller are the speeds of left motor and right motor. The experimental results show that the developed mobile robot could be controlled properly to follow the different wall positions and avoid the different obstacle positions with the high successful rate of 83.33%.
