Autonomous harvest collecting machine obstacle avoidance system.

The project focuses on creating an automatic palm harvest collecting machine, where one of the critical components is the basic mobility system required for the machine to move from one location to another. This aspect is fundamental as it underpins the entire operation. The primary goal of this project phase is to design and implement the basic manoeuvring feature of the machine, encompassing its movement and obstacle avoidance. The key concept is to enable the machine to navigate along predefined paths while avoiding obstacles. Achieving this objective necessitates the use of sensors and a microcontroller for processing sensor data and delivering required machine responses. The microcontroller will be customized to align with the specific machine requirements. Subsequent chapters in this report will delve into the research, material selection, methodology, concept design, and implementation process for this mobility feature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
