This project involved building a small-scale tank-tread robot controlled by an MSP430 microcontroller. I wrote the firmware in C to handle both teleoperated control via a wireless module and autonomous line-following using IR sensors. The control loop utilized PID algorithms to ensure smooth tracking and stability. Additionally, I implemented collision avoidance using ultrasonic sensors to navigate dynamic obstacles.
