White Line Follower, 8051 Microcontroller, IR Sensor, Embedded C, RoboticsAbstract
Line follower is a smart autonomous robot that detects or follows a white line embedded in the ground. Infrared sensors are used to detect these lines. Typically speaking, the area unit of the infrared sensors is used to locate the path that the robot must follow. The robot movement is automatic and can be used for applications of long distances. The device proposed is extremely useful in commercial, medical, rescue and military operations. It can be used in industrial automated equipment carriers, small household applications, tour guides in museums, etc. We have implemented the algorithm and controlled the movement of the robot by proper tuning of the control parameters using 8051 microcontroller and embedded C programming and thus achieved better performance. Using motor driver IC and BO (Battery operated) motor has been used for proper functioning of the robot.
