Line Follower Robot Project
Line Follower Robot Project
Introduction
The goal of this project is to design and build an autonomous line follower robot that can
navigate a predefined path using sensors to detect lines on the ground. This project aims to
enhance understanding of robotics, control systems, and sensor integration.
Objectives
1. Design and Construction: Create a physical robot that can follow a line using various
sensors.
2. Programming: Develop algorithms for line detection and navigation.
3. Testing and Optimization: Evaluate performance and optimize the robot’s response to
different track conditions.
