Abstract
The goal of the project is to construct and design a single line follower robot with a collision detection feature and a feedback control system that can follow a specified path on the ground for an indoor environment. It would sense the line and keep the robot on the given specified path. It would follow this through a feedback mechanism by taking the necessary actions for wrong moves. As the controller of the robot, you can guide and teach the robot how to follow the given specified path (line) and behave like a human with the ability of understanding and responding according to the given instructions.
In addition to that, it will detect collisions in its way and will behave as the instructor would say. In our case, it will stop when it senses any hurdle and will not continue its motion until that object or hurdle is moved away from its path. Our robot automatically changes its direction according to the line without any guidance or control by external means.
It can carry different low-weighted equipment up to 200 grams. In addition to that, a camera can also be attached for monitoring and security purposes, which would be safe from any accident or collision due to the adjustable range of detection. It can also be used in industrial robot guidance systems that operate indoors and in the military for spy purposes.
In our report, we are adding our final documentation with all the essential information about our controller, robot, sensors, and all the components used in our project.
