INTRODUCTION
The line-following robot is an
autonomous system designed to detect
and follow a line drawn on the ground. It
uses sensors to identify the path and
make corrections along its trajectory.
This project is a practical application of
robotics and automation.
PAGE 04

WHAT IS A LINE-
FOLLOWING ROBOT?
A line-following robot is an autonomous vehicle
equipped with sensors that allow it to detect and follow
a predefined path. They are used in industries,
warehouses, and educational robotics competitions.
PAGE 05

IMPORTANCE OF LINE-
FOLLOWING ROBOTS
They are used in warehouse and factory automation.
They improve efficiency in material transportation.
They are used in educational competitions for
learning robotics.
PAGE 06

APPLICATIONS IN
INDUSTRY AND RESEARCH
In industry, they are used for transportation and logistics
tasks, following predefined routes in warehouses and
factories.
In research, these robots are used in image processing
projects, interactive games, and library search systems.
PAGE 07

PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Develop a functional line-following robot using infrared
sensors, a microcontroller, and motors, in order to
understand the principles of robot automation and
control.
PAGE 08

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Autonomous systems have taken on a crucial role in industrial
automation and logistics transportation. This project seeks to
simulate an automated system that can efficiently follow
predefined routes.
PAGE 09

ORIGIN OF THE IDEA


This project arose as part of a robotics class,
where the teacher proposed building a line-
following robot as a final project to apply the
knowledge acquired during the course.

ROBOT STRUCTURE

THE ROBO T CONSIST S OF:

CHAS SIS
INFR ARE D SE NSORS
MICROCONTROLLE R (ARDUINO, PIC, E TC.)
MO TORS

PAGE 11

SENSORS USED
Infrared sensors are used to detect the line
and adjust the robot's trajectory. These
sensors emit light and detect its reflection
on the surface.
PAGE 12

MICROCONTROLLER AND ITS


FUNCTION
The microcontroller is the robot's "brain." It processes
information from the sensors and adjusts the speed and
direction of the motors to correctly follow the line.
PAGE 13

MOTORS AND DRIVE SYSTEM


The robot uses DC motors with gearboxes to
improve motion control and stability.

POWER SUPPLY
The robot is powered by rechargeable
batteries that supply power to both the
microcontroller and the motors.
PAGE 14

CHASSIS, WHEELS AND ENGINES


The chassis is the structure that will support all the robot's
components.
We can choose a prefabricated chassis or build one. The wheels
and motors will allow the robot to move.
PAGE 15

POWER SUPPLY
AND TOOLS
To power the robot, we'll need a
battery or a suitable power supply.
It's also helpful to have tools such as
a soldering iron to secure the
connections and a computer with the
Arduino IDE software installed.
PAGE 16

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Robot design and component selection.
Chassis assembly and motor mounting.
Installation of sensors and microcontroller.
Programming and initial testing.
Performance tuning and optimization.
PAGE 17

ROBOT
PROGRAMMING
The code is designed to read the sensors and
adjust the motor speed. Control logic is
implemented to allow the robot to correct its
direction when it deviates from the line.
PAGE 18

TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS


Several tests were performed to calibrate the sensors
and optimize the robot's speed. Programming
adjustments were made to improve line-following
accuracy.
PAGE 19

DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
Sensors with detection problems on different surfaces.
Adjusting sensor sensitivity.
Precise motor control to avoid sudden movements.

RESULTS OBTAINED
The robot managed to follow the line with acceptable accuracy. Improvements
were identified for future developments, such as the use of more advanced
sensors and more sophisticated control algorithms.
PAGE 20

COMPARISON WITH
OTHER LINE-FOLLOWING
ROBOTS
Commercial robots use more advanced systems such as
cameras and image processing.
Our robot uses a simple but effective solution with infrared
sensors.
Other versions include artificial intelligence to improve
trajectory.

CONCLUSION
Building a line-following robot with Arduino is a great
experience that combines programming, electronics, and
mechanics in a hands-on way.
This project not only allows you to better understand how
sensors and motors work, but also gives you the opportunity to
apply your knowledge to a tangible project.
