Summary

In this chapter, we have looked at the features of the robot that we are going to design. The main feature of this robot is its autonomous navigation. The robot can navigate its surroundings by analyzing sensor readings. We looked at the robot's block diagram and discussed the role of each block, selecting the appropriate components that satisfy our requirements. We also suggested some economical components with which to build this robot. In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at actuators and the interfacing that we will use for them in this robot.
