This project showcases a team of engineers who have developed a fleet of eight small autonomous robots designed for real-world applications, such as chemical detection and environmental monitoring. Each robot features advanced technology, including IR LEDs, sensors, a main control board, and LCD displays for mode changes. The robots navigate autonomously and are equipped with rechargeable batteries, designed to minimize power consumption. We emphasize the importance of safe manufacturing, disposal, and ethical considerations in robotic applications, ensuring robust testing and environmental responsibility.
