        abstract = {This research paper presents the design and implementation of a stair-climbing robot that ascends stairs without the use of mechanical legs. The robot employs a sophisticated mechanism integrating ultrasonic sensors, a rack and pinion system, and motorized wheels. The front- mounted ultrasonic sensor detects the stairs and activates the rack and pinion to lift the robot, accommodating steps up to 12 cm in height. Once elevated, an underside ultrasonic sensor detects the change in elevation, prompting the wheels to rotate at a low RPM to stabilize on the next step. This cycle repeats, enabling the robot to navigate the entire staircase efficiently. Key components include 100 RPM motors, an L298N motor driver, an Arduino microcontroller, and a 12V battery. The proposed design offers practical applications in various domains, enhancing mobility and accessibility in environments with staircases.},
