What is a robot?

Robots are machines which do a task which would

otherwise be done by human labor. Robots may or may not possesses intelligence.

TYPES OF ROBOT

Manual

Autonomous

THE LINE FOLLOWING ROBOT (LFR)

REQUIREMENT OF THE LFR


The robot must be capable of following a line. It should be capable of taking various degrees of turns It must be prepared of a situation that it runs into a

territory which has no line to follow. (Barren land syndrome) The robot must also be capable of following a line even if it has breaks. The robot must be insensitive to environmental factors such as lighting and noise. It must allow calibration of the lines darkness threshold. Scalability must be a primary concern in the design. The color of the line must not be a factor as long as it is darker than the surroundings.

IR SENSOR
The resistance of the sensor decreases when IR light falls on it. A good sensor will have near zero resistance in presence of light and a very large resistance in absence of light.

LDR SENSOR
It is better than and give exact output at the problem of light also its circuit is same as IR sensor.

APPLICATIONS
Industrial automated equipment carriers
Automated cars. Tour guides in museums and other similar

applications. Second wave robotic reconnaissance operations.

Choice of line is made in the hardware abstraction

LIMITATIONS

and cannot be changed by software. Calibration is difficult, and it is not easy to set a perfect value. The steering mechanism is not easily implemented in huge vehicles and impossible for non-electric vehicles (petrol powered). Few curves are not made efficiently, and must be avoided.

LIMITATIONS
Lack of a four wheel drive, makes it not suitable for a

rough terrain. Use of IR even though solves a lot of problems pertaining to interference, makes it hard to debug a faulty sensor. Lack of speed control makes the robot unstable at times.

FUTURE SCOPE
Software control of the line type (dark or light) to

make automatic detection possible. Obstacle detecting sensors to avoid physical obstacles and continue on the line. Distance sensing and position logging & transmission.
