A dual-feature robotics demonstration showcasing autonomous navigation, ultrasonic sensing, and advanced line-following techniques on the Elecfreaks test track.
This project demonstrates two programming achievements:
1. Ultrasonic Cargo Detection and Pickup
The robot remains stationary until its ultrasonic sensor detects the arrival of a cargo object. Once detected, the robot approaches, secures, and lifts the load from the track area.
2. New Track Re-entry Technique
After leaving its original line-following path to pick up the cargo, the robot performs a controlled maneuver to locate, align with, and successfully re-enter a different track.
The robot was programmed using Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit as part of a STEM educational robotics project.
