Introduction to Robotics and Robots for Beginners Tutorial

In this video lesson we show how to use the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to measure detect obstacles, avoid collisions, and still make it to the mission target destination. We show how to still achieve the mission target destination, even when encountering multiple obstacles. We are using the Elegoo Smart Car version 3.0. It is helpful if we are working on identical hardware.
