PROJECT / 05

Autonomous RC Robot

An in-progress autonomous robot pairing a Raspberry Pi planning layer with an ESP32-C3 motor and safety controller.

SYSTEM BUILD

What went into it

01
Combined ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, Bluetooth RSSI following, and vision-based tracking in the navigation design.
02
Kept the ultrasonic safety reflex on the ESP32-C3 rather than depending on the higher-level controller.
03
Defined a serial protocol for commands, acknowledgements, errors, distance readings, and heartbeat messages.

MEASURED OUTPUT

Established a fault-aware control boundary between high-level navigation and hardware-level safety for the robot under development.
