This project was developed as part of an embedded systems assignment focused on integrating real-world sensor data with mechanical actuation. The goal was to create a responsive, interactive system that reacts to motion input in real time, using hardware components commonly explored in robotics and automation coursework.
The video demonstration shows a maze platform that moves dynamically based on how a 3-axis accelerometer is tilted. As the user shifts the sensor left, right, forward, backward, or vertically, the maze tilts in real time in different directions. Though no ball is present in the maze during the video, the movement alone demonstrates how responsive and precise the platform is—illustrating how acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes can directly influence physical motion. Additionally, the Arduino IDE’s serial monitor provides live feedback, displaying the current X, Y, and Z values along with related outputs, offering clear visibility into how the system interprets movement. This project highlights key concepts in motion sensing, control systems, and actuator coordination in a hands-on and engaging way.
