Alex coded main following functionalityNischal added code to detect signals from TV remote & switch between following & running away.

Controlling Scribbler

Scribbler has IR receivers Original intent was to detect specific

button presses on the TV remote to control robot

TV remotes use pulses Robot detects any button press as

“1000” Used remote as toggle switch

Controlling Scribbler

Robot is on “standby” to begin with On detecting a remote press, robot

enters “follow mode”Robot follows any obstacle placed before it

On subsequent remote presses, robot toggles between “follow mode” and “run away mode”

Lessons Learned

This project taught us the basics of how to use sensors to detect a robots environment

Also, it taught use how we can interact with a robot to change its behavior
