CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Mobile Robot can be classified into a few types based on the application and task given to complete. Mobile robot with multiple sensor behavior for obstacle avoidance is
one of the autonomous mobile robot types. This robot can perform the tasks without any guidance from human and but limited to environment structured [1]. In the autonomous
mobile robot designed, the most important is the position of the sensor attached to the robot. These sensors are act as an eye for alls mobile robot designed where it was used to
decide the direction of the wheel and based on the task given. However, autonomous mobile robot cannot operate smoothly with sensor only. It
should have a controller that act as a heart where the controller will control the whole operation of the mobile robot based on program installed [2].Basically, positioning of
sensor is the most difficult part in autonomous mobile robot designed depends on sensors’ specifications and the sight where needs to give strictly attentions. If the research of the
sensor ranges is studied, determination of the movement on left or right will totally affect to the whole operation of mobile robot [3].
1.2 Problem statement
Why we need the mobile robot? In this era of scientific and technological advance, people are inclining more and more towards using new devices and system to make sure all
the work is easier and faster. With autonomous mobile robot the hazardous or dangerous task can be performed replace human for safety purposes.
