This project demonstrates the Line Follower Robot's concept and implementation, as well as its ability to select the appropriate line from a set of black and white lines. Because each colour has its own specific feature, the robot can readily distinguish between them and recognize the presence of an impediment, allowing it to pick a new course to its destination. It is programmed to deliver instructions to the robot when it detects a line and attempts to move towards the destination. This robot avoids collisions by using an obstacle sensor to detect collisions and stopping when an object is spotted. A camera has also been fitted for video recording. The proposed system is being used in a range of commercial, industrial, medical, and educational settings.
