Autonomous Car

I explored autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance through a school design project, bringing together electronics, sensors, motor control and iterative testing.

Designing a working system

Rather than treating the car as a collection of separate components, I had to consider how sensing, control logic and movement work together. The project gave me a practical way to investigate how an electronic system responds to its surroundings.

What I worked on

My design work involved documenting the project requirements, developing the prototype and reviewing the result against the intended criteria. The attached reports cover the design process and evaluation.
