Abstract

Line Following robot is one of the most important aspects of robotics. A Line Following
Robot is an autonomous robot which is able to follow either a black line that is drawn on the
surface consisting of a contrasting color. It is designed to move automatically and follow the
line. The robot uses arrays of Infrared (IR) sensors to identify the line, thus assisting the robot
to stay on the track and ultrasonic sensor, thus assisting the robot to detect obstacles. The
array of three sensor makes its movement precise and flexible. The robot is driven by DC
gear motors to control the movement of the wheels. The Arduino Uno interface is used to
perform and implement algorithms to control the speed of the motors, steering the robot to
travel along the line smoothly. This project aims to implement the algorithm and control the
movement of the robot by proper tuning of the control parameters and thus achieve better
performance. It can be used industrial automated equipment carriers, small household
applications, tour guides in museums and other similar applications, etc.
Concept of working line follower is related to light. We use here the behavior of light at black
and white surface. When light fall on a white surface it is almost full reflected and in case of
black surface light is completely observed. This behavior of light is used in building a line
follower robot. In this arduino based line follower robot we used IR transmitters and IR
receivers also called photo diodes. They are used for sending and receiving light.IR transmits
infrared lights. When infrared rays falls on white surface, it’s reflected back and cached by
photodiodes which generates some voltage changes. When IR light falls on a black surface,
light is absorbed by the black surface and no rays are reflected back, thus photodiode does
not receive any light or rays.
Here in this arduino line follower robot when sensor senses white surface then arduino gets
one as input and when senses black line arduino get zero as input. The whole arduino line
follower robot can be divided in to three section: - Sensor section, Control section, driver
section.
