Goal

Research the sonar attachments and other methods of obstacle avoidance to allow autonomous robot control.

Future Addition

Possible implementation of sonar as a method of obstacle avoidance on the weed robot utilized in public spaces and other areas with walls, curbs and other obstacles.

An algorithm can be designed to have the robot check the left and right paths to determine which way to travel when an ultrasonic sensor detects an obstacle.

_Obstacle to the front and on the left:_
* The robot will turn and go right

_Obstacle to the front and on the right:_
* The robot will turn and go left

_Obstacles surrounding robot:_
* The robot will reverse and change path to avoid obstacles
