Abstract/Summary

The study is concerned about developing a navigation algorithm that will allow a microcontroller-based mobile robot (mobot) to navigate with the help of a Global Positioning System (GPS) module. The mobile robot also makes use of an electronic compass and a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. The electronic compass will be responsible for determining the direction the mobot is facing, while the LCD screen will provide feedback during testing and troubleshooting. The mobot will make use of the coordinates supplied by the GPS module and the information provided by the electronic compass to determine an appropriate route to the specified destination.
