Pololu Zumo 32U4 IR Controlled Tank Robot

April 2023 - May 2023
Designed and programmed an autonomous tank robot to successfully traverse a dynamic obstacle course consisting of 5-10 obstacles. The system integrated over 10 sensors and outputs to enhance real-time navigation and environmental awareness. I developed and optimized hundreds of lines of functional code, implementing PWM control, bit manipulation, and advanced signal processing techniques. These optimizations enabled the robot to autonomously detect and avoid obstacles with 100% accuracy across three differently configured trials, demonstrating robust and reliable performance in real-world scenarios.
