My Engineering Thesis' Title:

"Designing and building a mobile robot with a control system based on the Arduino development board"


• Educational institution: "Vasile Alecsandri" University of Bacău, Romania (Faculty of Engineering)

• Academic degree obtained: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering and Information Technology (2019)

• Goal/Practicality: To create a miniature autonomous firefighting robot from scratch, modeled as a firetruck

• The thesis involved working with Arduino IDE (code written in C programming language), IR (infrared) sensors and servo motors




• Here is the General Block Scheme:
