Abstract :
The line-following robot is a collection of components wherein the machine created is completely automatic, i.e., the machine automatically decides the path to be taken if one path is full. If a conflicting situation arises, then there is a priority set in directions, according to which the machine would run. Hinted by its name the imaginative working of a robotic car created by some basic components such as a battery pack, motor, and microcontroller is very simple, its objective is to follow a fixed path independently without any human intervention to reach a particular destination or to complete a task. The methodology used in the exploration is a project-based one wherein the line following robot schematics and workings will be researched, respectively. In addition, a schematic simulation will also be developed using the Proteus software simulation. The simulation will compute the basic understanding of how the schematic developed is working and responding to different parameters (in this research work the parameter of the line following the robot will be the path or line whose contrast will be picked up by the IR sensors) following that a proper conclusion along with extrapolations to the topic will be discussed.
