Abstract
The aim of this project is to get a wheel robot to reach a destination successfully while avoiding
any obstacles it may find in its way. The robot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to detect any
obstacle and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that measures the velocity and acceleration to
determine its position. To achieve that goal, a control system has been designed and
implemented that creates a path from the starting point to the destination and, if it finds an obstacle
in its way, it is able to avoid it and go back to the path.
