This paper presents the hardware design and implementation of a car-like mobile robot that work in an efficient way. The robot is programmed to avoid colliding with obstacles in its way by the aid of ultrasonic sensors. It will change its path if the connected sensors detect an obstacle. After passing the obstacle, the robot will continue on its original path. The system was designed using VHDL in a high level design method. All parts of the design have been simulated and implemented using Xilinx tools. The system was tested in both simulation level using ModelSim and hardware level using Xilinx Spartan 3 AN development board.

Dear Colleagues;

· Please find here an MSc program in IT proposal proposed by a college ad- hoc committee. We would like you to review the program and send us your remarks and suggestions. The program is to be submitted to the college later this semester. It has to be discussed and approved by department councils and college council before it goes up to other university bodies for approval.

· If you are not a registered member please send (CE blog subscribe) to h@it-online.org and we will send you your subscription details and authorization to create and edit your own posts and comments. Or you may register yourself and you will be assigned the proper role later.

· You may also post/send your comments and suggestions by email.

· I appreciate if you can post/send your comments and suggestions before Wednesday, October 22.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Regards
