2D rovers have a wide range of uses from exploring planet Mars to search and rescue operations. They are also used for reconnaissance in military applications. In this project the main objective is to develop a 2D mapping rover which can map static unknown terrain and provide output in the form of a 2D map. This will be achieved with the help of an Ultrasonic sensor which will give sensor data, rover which will move around the terrain and a micro controller which will serve as control point for operating sensors and actuators. The sensor data will be used to produce numerous graphs. These graphs will then be processed further to produce a 2D map of the terrain that the rover has explored. The rover will also keep track of the path travelled so that it can be used to trace back the rover. The rover will also actively avoid the obstacles detected. Machine learning will be used to make the operation of the rover smoother. The final goal of this project is to provide cost-effective solutions for exploration, so that it can be used in place of humans where there are probable risks.
