INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the field of robotics and automation has experienced


significant advancements, particularly in the area of autonomous
5
vehicles. The growing demand for intelligent, efficient, and user-
friendly systems has inspired the development of smart robotic
platforms that can mimic human control and decision-making. One
such innovation is the Smart Self-Driving Car equipped with
Obstacle Avoidance, Bluetooth Remote Control, and Voice
Command Integration. This project is a step towards building an
affordable, versatile robotic vehicle capable of performing
autonomous navigation while also allowing manual and voice-based
control.

The problem posed in this project is the limitation of traditional


remote-controlled cars that lack real-time obstacle detection and
flexibility in control methods. These limitations hinder their use in
practical applications such as smart mobility systems, indoor
automation, and educational purposes. The need for a multifunctional,
user-interactive robotic platform has become essential in bridging the
gap between theoretical robotics and real-world implementation.

This project aims to design and implement a robotic car that can
operate in three distinct modes:

 Autonomous Navigation using an ultrasonic sensor for real-


time obstacle avoidance,
 Manual Bluetooth Control via a mobile app or paired device,
and
 Voice Command Operation for hands-free interaction using a
voice recognition system.

The scope of the project extends to demonstrating how embedded


systems, sensor integration, and communication protocols can work
together to build an intelligent robotic solution. The system is built
using an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, Bluetooth
module (HC-05), voice recognition tools, and motor driver circuits to
control the vehicle's movement based on sensory input and user
commands.

The significant contributions of this project include:

6
 A real-time obstacle avoidance algorithm using ultrasonic
feedback,
 Wireless manual control through Bluetooth for flexible
operation,
 Voice command processing for natural interaction with the
system,
 Integration of all modules into a single compact robotic
platform,
 Demonstration of embedded system design principles and IoT
concepts.

This project not only showcases technical skills in hardware and


software development but also reflects the growing importance of
intelligent human-machine interaction, which is fundamental to the
future of smart robotics.

Project Title: Smart Self-Driving Car with Obstacle Avoidance,


Bluetooth Remote Control, and Voice Command Integration

Definition:

7
This project presents a prototype of a smart self-driving car designed
to navigate autonomously while integrating multiple control features.
The system is equipped with obstacle avoidance capabilities using
ultrasonic sensors to detect and bypass obstacles in real time,
ensuring safe movement. It also supports Bluetooth-based remote
control, allowing users to manually operate the car through a mobile
application. Additionally, the car features voice control functionality,
enabling hands-free command execution using predefined voice
inputs. The combination of autonomous navigation, remote
operation, and voice interaction demonstrates the use of embedded
systems and IoT technologies to enhance mobility and automation.

The process of this robot car


We can control this robot car using three methods. That is,

1.Obstacle avoidance
In this case, the robot car moves along using the obstacle avoiding. The
ultrasonic sensor is mainly used for this purpose.

2.Bluetooth control
In this case, we can control the robot through an app on the smartphone. The
Bluetooth module is used for this.

3.Voice control
In this case, we can control this robot using several predefined voice
commands. This also requires a Bluetooth module and mobile app.

DESCRIPTION

 Hardware Requirements
The required components are given below.
8
 Arduino UNO board x 1
 L293D motor driver x 1
 Ultrasonic sensor x 1
 Bluetooth module x 1
 Servo motor x 1
 Gear motor x 4
 Robot wheel x 4
 Li-ion battery holder x 1
 Li-ion battery x 3
 Jumper wires
 Transparent fibreboard

Step1
L293D motor driver shield
The L293D Motor Driver Shield is a popular Arduino-
compatible module used to control the speed and
direction of DC motors and stepper motors. In this
project, it plays a crucial role in controlling the
movement of the self-driving car.
The shield is based on the L293D IC, a dual H-bridge
motor driver that allows bidirectional control of two DC
motors or unidirectional control of four. It can supply up to 600 mA current per
channel and supports motor voltage up to 36V, making it ideal for small
robotics projects.

Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04):


The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is a key component in this
project, enabling the obstacle avoidance feature of the
self-driving car. It works by emitting ultrasonic sound
waves and measuring the time taken for the echo to

9
return after bouncing off an object. Using this time, the distance to the object
is calculated.

Key Features:
 Sensing Range: 2 cm to 400 cm (with accuracy up to 3 mm)
 Working Voltage: 5V DC
 Trigger and Echo Pins for signal transmission and reception
 Non-contact distance measurement, making it ideal for autonomous
navigation

Working Principle in the Project:


 The Arduino sends a pulse through the Trigger pin
 The sensor emits an ultrasonic wave (at 40 kHz)
 When the wave hits an obstacle, it reflects back to the Echo pin
 The time delay is measured and converted into distance
 If the object is within a predefined range, the car stops or changes
direction to avoid collision

Bluetooth Module (HC-05):


The HC-05 Bluetooth Module is used in this project to
enable wireless remote control of the self-driving car
through a smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled device. It
allows for seamless serial communication between the
Arduino and the user's mobile application, enabling
commands to be sent and received in real time.

10
Key Features:
 Operating Voltage: 3.3V–5V
 Communication: Serial (UART) with TX and RX pins
 Range: Up to 10 meters
 Bluetooth Protocol: Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
 Master/Slave mode configurable

Working in the Project:


 The module is connected to the Arduino via TX (Transmit) and RX
(Receive) pins.
 A mobile app (such as a custom or generic Bluetooth controller) sends
commands like forward, backward, left, right, or stop.
 The Arduino receives these commands via the HC-05 module and
controls the motor driver shield accordingly.

Servo Motor (SG90):


The SG90 Servo Motor is used in this project to rotate
the ultrasonic sensor for better obstacle detection and
enhanced navigation. Unlike DC motors, a servo motor
provides precise angular movement, which is ideal for
scanning the surroundings.

Key Features:
 Operating Voltage: 4.8V to 6V
 Control Signal: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
 Rotation Range: 0° to 180°
 Torque: Around 1.8 kg·cm (suitable for lightweight applications)

Working in the Project:

11
 The servo motor is mounted with the ultrasonic sensor, allowing it to
rotate left and right to scan for obstacles in a wider area.
 Controlled by the Arduino using a single PWM signal pin.
 The Arduino rotates the sensor to different angles (e.g., 0°, 90°, 180°),
reads the distance at each point, and makes decisions based on the
obstacle positions.

3x Li-ion Battery and Holder:


To power the self-driving car, the project uses a 3-cell Li-ion
battery setup (typically 18650 rechargeable batteries) along
with a battery holder. This setup provides a reliable and
portable power source for the motors, sensors, Arduino, and
other electronic components.

Key Features:
 Battery Type: 3 × 18650 Li-ion rechargeable batteries
 Typical Voltage: 3.7V per cell × 3 = 11.1V total
 Battery Holder: Securely holds the three batteries in
series and provides output terminals
 High Energy Density: Suitable for powering motors and
control circuits for extended periods

4× Gear Motors:
The project uses four DC gear motors to drive the wheels
of the self-driving car, enabling smooth and stable
movement. These motors are small but powerful,
providing enough torque to move the car and respond to
directional commands from the control system.

12
Key Features:
 Operating Voltage: Typically, 6V–12V
 RPM: 100–300 RPM (varies based on model and voltage)
 High Torque Output: Due to built-in gear reduction system
 Low Speed, High Power: Ideal for robotics applications
 Compact Size: Easy to mount directly on chassis wheels

Robot Wheels:
The robot wheels are essential mechanical
components that enable the movement of
the car. In this project, four rubberized
wheels are attached to the gear motors to
provide traction and stability.

Jumper Wires:
Jumper wires are used for making electrical
connections between components on the
Arduino, motor driver shield, sensors, and
modules without soldering.
Types: Male-to-male, male-to-female, female-
to-female

Transparent Fibreboard (Acrylic or PVC


Chassis):
The transparent fibreboard acts as the base platform or
chassis for mounting all components of the robot car.

Arduino Uno Board:


The Arduino Uno is highly suitable for robotics projects due to its simplicity,
flexibility, and strong community support. It enables the integration of various

13
components and allows the development of complex features like autonomous
navigation, Bluetooth control, and voice control with ease.
The Arduino Uno is the main microcontroller board used in this self-driving car
project. It serves as the brain of the system, controlling all sensors, motors,
and communication modules based on the programmed logic.

Key Features:
 Microcontroller: ATmega328P
 Operating Voltage: 5V
 Input Voltage (recommended): 7–12V
 Digital I/O Pins: 14 (6 PWM outputs)
 Analog Input Pins: 6
 Flash Memory: 32 KB (for storing code)
