The Arduino board serves as the central controller of your autonomous car, interpreting sensor data and controlling the motors accordingly. Begin by setting up the Arduino board and connecting it to your computer. You’ll need to upload the appropriate code that allows the board to read sensor inputs and control the motors.

In the Arduino context, the robot car is commonly referred to as the robot car, RC car, remote control car, smart car, or DIY car. It can be controlled remotely and wirelessly using either an IR remote controller or a smartphone app via Bluetooth/WiFi... The robot car can turn left or right and move forward or backward.

The core of this smart car is an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which processes sensor data and controls vehicle movement. For precise distance detection, the project utilizes the VL53L0X TOF Based LiDAR Laser Distance Sensor.

Users press the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/OK keys on the IR remote controller. Arduino receives the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/OK commands through the IR receiver. Arduino controls the car to move FORWARD/BACKWARD/LEFT/RIGHT/STOP by controlling the DC motor via the motor driver. This image is created using Fritzing. Click to enlarge image
