Line Following with Obstacle Avoidance using BOE-BOT

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: A, The University of Malaya (Asia Pacific University), course: Mechatronics, language: English, abstract: In this assignment, programming the BOE-BOTS for maze solving was required. The BOE-BOTS were tasked to follow a specific line from the start to the end. In addition to that, there would be obstacles that the BOE-BOTS need to face. The BOE-BOTS will have to avoid those obstacles and reach the end. This report was written for the purpose of discussing the process of developing the program used in this assignment for the maze solving. Firstly, it will provide the reader with a technical background so they can understand the process of development of the program made for this assignment. Secondly, the used codes would be keenly analyzed and explained. Third and lastly, the challenges that were encountered in the process of developing and the process of developing itself will be talked about in detail followed by a conclusion of the whole report.

My name is Bandar Naji Ali Hezam, and I am from Yemen. Growing up, I was always interested in technology and how things worked. However, my parents did not have any background in engineering, so it was up to me to explore this interest on my own. After completing my secondary education in Yemen, I decided to pursue a degree in mechatronics engineering at Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation. I was attracted to this field because it combines mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering, and I knew that it would provide me with a solid foundation in a wide range of technical skills. Studying at Asia Pacific University was an enriching experience. I met people from all over the world, and I was exposed to new ideas and ways of thinking. The program was challenging, but I enjoyed every moment of it. I learned about the principles of mechanics, electronics, and computing, and how they all come together to create complex systems. After graduating with my degree, I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Business Administration at University of Cyberjaya. I wanted to expand my knowledge beyond the technical aspects of engineering and learn more about business and management. The program was rigorous, but it gave me a deep understanding of finance, marketing, organizational behavior, and other important business topics. With my education and skills, I started my career as a mechatronics engineer. I have worked for several companies over the years, designing and developing complex systems for a variety of industries. I have always been passionate about my work, and I have enjoyed every project that I have worked on. In my free time, I like to read books and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in technology and engineering. I also like to travel and experience new cultures and ways of life. Looking back on my life so far, I am proud of what I have accomplished. As someone who did not have any background in engineering in my family, I am particularly proud of my achievements. I hope to continue to learn and grow as an engineer and as a person, and to make a positive impact in the world.
