A. ULTRASONIC SENSOR:
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect obstacles and alter
direction while travelling. This sensor is controlled by an
Arduino controller and also drives DC motors via driving
circuitry. The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, like bats, uses
sonar to estimate distance to an object. It provides
outstanding non-contact range detection in an easy-to-use
design, with high accuracy and reliable results. Its operation
is unaffected by sunshine or dark materials, as Sharp
rangefinders are (but acoustically soft materials such as
fabric can be difficult to detect). It has an ultrasonic
transmitter and receiver module.[7] Fig: 3.2 Arduino Board
