The project “Autonomous Electric Vehicle Using Arduino UNO” focuses on designing a smart line-following robot that navigates autonomously while allowing destination control through the internet. The system employs an Arduino UNO as the main controller, interfaced with two IR sensors to detect and follow a predefined line path. The motor driver module controls four DC motors, providing stable and precise movement of the vehicle along the path. An ESP8266 Wi-Fi module enables IoT connectivity, allowing users to fix the destination via a web-based platform. Once the destination is selected online, the vehicle automatically follows the corresponding line route to reach it without human intervention. This project demonstrates the integration of autonomous navigation and IoT-based control in an electric vehicle system. It highlights how affordable components such as the Arduino UNO, IR sensors, and Wi-Fi modules can be utilized to develop intelligent transportation prototypes. Potential applications include automated delivery systems, smart industrial transport, and campus mobility solutions.
