Hi All
I bought on Amazon this Robot:
https://www.amazon.com/ELEGOO-Tracking-Ultrasonic-Intelligent-Educational/dp/B07KPZ8RSZ/ref=pd_sbs_147_5/261-1194083-6624722?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07KPZ8RSZ&pd_rd_r=906fb9a9-c63a-44c4-b9ec-2640d0518f1c&pd_rd_w=5V5aB&pd_rd_wg=YJPXo&pf_rd_p=665be1f4-8d3b-46dd-91b4-582d3cec8dd6&pf_rd_r=4BJG5P6XSJWB2W9T8FSX&refRID=4BJG5P6XSJWB2W9T8FSX&th=1
and now I would like to pimp it a little bit. I attached the picture of my apartment. The idea is to have Arduino with bluetooth in one room and the robot in other. When Arduino sends a signal to the robot, it needs to drive to the arduino, touch it and after 30sec go automaticly to his start location. The communication between them would be via bluetooth. I have no idea how to make it work automaticlly. I can not paste black tape on the ground. Can I teach it how to get there and go back? And it shoud avode obsticales on the way

Without black tape on the floor (or an equivalent) this will be a very challenging project. It would probably need a great deal more processing power than an Arduino has.
Even if the project was simplified so that the robot always starts from the same place and always goes to the same place it would be a major challenge.
With varying positions there is also the challenge of identifying the location.
I suppose it might be possible by having the robot always follow the "wall" on its right - but that would require it to traverse the whole apartment and would not work if the target Arduino was not touching a wall.

PS ... smaller image files (640 x 480 should be fine) are kinder to those of us with slow or expensive internet connections.
"I have no idea how to make it work automaticlly. I can not paste black tape on the ground. Can I teach it how to get there and go back? And it shoud avode obsticales on the way"
Just to cut to the chase, that will probably be a difficult project to complete. You will need to solve the issue of the robot knowing where it is in relation to where it is going. You might use the forum search function and search for object location, object tracking, and similar terms. I haven't really seen an easy/affordable solution to these types of navigation projects.
