Enhancing Line Following Robot Navigating with Smart Assistant Capabilities

One of the essential technologies in the domain of mobile robots is to the ability to traverse a pre-established path. Line-following robots are robotic systems that are specifically engineered to detect and trace black or white lines on surfaces that exhibit alternating colors. The robots are designed to operate independently by adhering to a predetermined path. Equipped with a variety of sensors, these robots are capable of detecting the line in contrast to the surrounding background, so ensuring their ability to remain on track. The attainment of precise and adaptable movement is facilitated by a set of infrared (IR) sensors. In order to regulate the movement of the wheels, a combination of two direct current (DC) gear motors and a caster wheel is utilized. The implementation of an algorithm that governs motor speed and facilitates the robot’s ability to track a line is achieved through the utilization of an Arduino Uno. The main objective of this project encompasses two key aspects. Firstly, it involves the construction of a durable chassis that possesses the ability to transport designated payloads between predetermined waypoints. Secondly, it entails the development of an algorithm that empowers the robot to maneuver through narrow curves effortlessly.
