Abstract: Robotics is not only for scientists. It is very interesting and enjoyable way to introduce you to the world of electronics. This paper will show how to build a self-made autonomous robot capable of following a guiding line. An easy principle on how the robot follows the line will be explained. This paper will describe how infrared sensors work and how to process their signal by a microcontroller, which is the brain of each robot. Also the practical side of designing and making a robot's printed circuit board.
Intelligent Line Follower Robot is developed with a simple concept. This robot is a mobile device that detects obstacle and follows the line drawn on the floor. The path must be in a visible black line or green line on a white surface.
Therefore, this kind of robot should sense the line with its Infrared Ray (IR) sensors that installed under the robot. After that, the data is transmitted to the microcontroller by specific transition buses. Hence, the microcontroller is going to decide the proper commands and then it sends to the motor an thus the path will be followed by the line follower robot.
The goal of this thesis is to investigate a simple path following robot, which is designed to be flexible base for more complex robot behaviors.
