While I was still in college, I once had a project about robotics and artificial intelligence subject wherein we designed an algorithm on determining the possible way of controlling the directions of the robot.   The robot simply goes anywhere it would like to go but when it encounters a wall, or a barrier, it can change its direction depending on which way he can possibly go and is still on range for our remote controller. The camera that we attached in our robot helps the robot to determine what possible directions could he go and whether or not it is already facing a barrier or wall. When the robot captures certain images, the program we created will send signals directly to the parallel port relay board which is directly connected to our circuit system attached to the remote of the robot. With the program, the movement of the robot is simply controlled by the remote as it continues to move forward but changes its course only if needed. The entire project was really very challenging in a way that it we started from scratch and it took us months before we were really able to do the project and is already working properly. Programmable integrated circuits could have saved a lot of our time and efforts because it will do all the processing of our inputs but we did not use any so the project was more difficult than ever. Our adviser in this project has been so proud of us because of this achievement that we were able to finish the project on time and a this made them appreciate all our efforts.
