Abstract :
Precision in practical life plays an important role in smooth functioning of all the developed integrated systems. Moving towards the intelligent robotics, accuracy of the results and simplicity of the design proves the efficiency and the applicability of proposed models and algorithms applied. This developed robot works on a much simpler algorithm to estimate the distance of an object by using one camera. This is achieved by calculating the pixel area of the target object (pole in this case) using MATLAB® and hits the target object by Pulse Width Modulation, according to the distance. The precise pulse width is obtained by the graphs plotted on practical data through multiple input/output values.
