The problem

Scope & contribution

Build a mobile robot that can navigate its environment, find target objects, and report their locations.

  • Developed a real-time autonomous robot car powered by NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
  • Used Tiny-YOLOv3 for object detection and a custom binary-classification CNN for collision avoidance.
  • Integrated navigation, target-object search, and transmission of detected object locations.
