My recording 16

Parashutella is a second-year student studying software and electronic engineering. Their IoT project is an autonomous vehicle that uses ultrasonic sensors and a compass to drive around and avoid obstacles. The vehicle can be manually controlled via Bluetooth. The project aligns with sustainability development goals 9 and 13 by improving efficiency and promoting sustainable industrialization. The project's website displays information about the vehicle's status and whether it is in Bluetooth control or driving autonomously. I am Parashutella and I am a second year student studying software and electronic engineering at ATU Galway. This is my IOT project for second year. It is an autonomous vehicle. The idea for the project came to me because of my interest in robotics and automation and I knew that for my project I wanted to make something that can actually move and drive around. To me it is a lot more interesting than just having code. I also really wanted to build a more advanced version of the robocar that we did in first year. So this was a perfect project for me I think. I used two ultrasonic sensors and a compass to allow the vehicle to drive around autonomously and avoid obstacles. I also included Bluetooth functionality so you can manually control the vehicle if you want to. Now for hardware I used, as I said, two HG-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensors. I used a BMM150 compass module and I used a 9 gram servo, two DC motors and a H-bridge to drive around. And then an ESP32 to control all the sensors and stuff and host the web server. To implement the project I used, as I said, the ESP32 to host the web server. I also used a chassis provided by the college along with a dual H-bridge to control the motors and ultrasonic sensors for collision detection. Originally I wanted to use the ultrasonics to get coordinates of where the vehicle is and the idea was to be able to program a path for the vehicle to take. But in the end I ran out of time and it turned out to be a bit more complicated than I first expected. Now for sustainability development goals. My project will work towards sustainability development goal 9 and 13. My project would improve the efficiency of maintaining what the original plan was for to improve the efficiency of maintaining lawns, playing fields, basketball courts, etc. So be able to clean them automatically, lawns automatically using pre-programmed paths. With its current functionality it can still do some of those functions such as mowing lawns, but it would do it more like a Roomba and just drive around and avoid obstacles. It's also fully electric and it's reusing parts from previous projects. So it is reducing its carbon impact by doing that and it is promoting sustainable industrialization. So that's FGG13 and FGG9. The website for the project is fairly simple. It shows you the heading of the vehicle and it shows you if the vehicle has detected a collision and is driving around that. It also shows you if the vehicle is in Bluetooth control or if it's driving autonomously. Thank you very much.
