This robot has a dual CPU configuration. One CPU is used as a Master controller and the other CPU is used for slave operations. Navigation is done by encoders embedded in each servo motor. The dual wheel design provides easy turning capabilities. An onboard LCD gives extra debug information. Dual GP2D02 IR sensors provide the obstacle avoidence. One of the GP2D02 sensors is mounted on top of a servo motor so that it can look at the left or right wall. the other GP2D02 sensor is mounted stationary looking straight ahead. A front bumper provides a failsafe collision detection in the case where the IR sensors fail to detect an obstacle.
