Line Follower Robot with Obstacle Avoidance

Abstract

One of the most available robots in applications are the line followers. These robots normally follow either white or a black line. This paper introduces an Autonomous Emergency Indicating Line Follower and Obstacle Avoiding Robot. The robot moves on a specific path determined by the user and detects the obstacle that comes in its way. The vehicle robot stops and diverts its route and returns back to original path, once the obstacle has been overcome. Whenever the robot gets lost from the track, the robot automatically follow the predefined path. The robot is achieved through the implementation of many sensors interacting with the controllers. An experimental study of time taken by the robot for different length obstacle as well as for different speed of the robot is also performed. Key Words: Sensors, Obstacle Detection, Line Follower
