Infrared Sensor and PWM Integration Using FPGA Platform for Ground Vehicle Navigation and Speed Control

Abstract

In today's modern world, an autonomous driving system where a vehicle or a robot is capable of moving without control is a promising technological concept. However, at the same time, manual control system are still playing a significant role in robotic field. The final goal of the work is to create a robot car system that utilizes both manual and auto control through usage of the infrared (IR) sensor. The infrared sensors enable robot to be controlled through manually or through obstacle while making the prototype low-cost and affordable. This paper demonstrates the development of prototype of the IR sensor controlled robot car. The main objective of this design is to focus on versatility, durability, simplicity and improvised operations.
