A SLAM(simultaneous localization and mapping) machine as it was stated in itself, maps an enclosed area. My project aims to achieve the aim of building a SLAM robot using several components and Arduino Uno. SLAM machines can be used to map indoor spaces. Today, SLAM technologies are used widely in the field of IOT. Via this project, I am expecting to see the implementation of a SLAM machine and have hands-on experience on the field. More detailed description of the project given below in the following sections.

In this project there will be three entities communicating; the SLAM robot, router and a computer. The slam robot will use an IR sensor to scan the surrounding area and send the data to the computer through WiFi. The computer software I have developed will generate the map of the field correspondingly. The visualisation of the communication lines given below in the “FIgure 1: Visual representation of communication lines”.

List of pieces:

• Arduino Uno
• ESP 01
• Servo motor
• 2 DC motor
• IR sensor
• Cables
• Voltage Regulator
• Breadboard
• Base of the car
• Wheels
• Electronic Schema

The software IDE used for hardware programming is “Arduino IDE”. Apart from vanilla Arduino libraries, following libraries was used: Wifi module

Apart from the embedded programming a variety of software developed to process data and communicate with the SLAM robot. The IDE used for programming is “Visual Studio Code” and the programming language is “Python”.
