Questions tagged [line-following]

A line-following robot is typically a wheeled robot with light sensor(s) beneath it. The goal of the robot is to follow along a line with a distinct color or intensity, e.g. black on white background.

A line-following robot is typically a wheeled robot with light sensor(s) beneath it. These sensors are used to determine whether the robot is on the line, outside the line or in transition between the two states. Accordingly, the robot chooses the appropriate control action to move back in the line if not on it already and go along the line otherwise.

Line-following robots are often didactic.

How to drive robot without driving actuator?

I am participating in a robotics competition. I am supposed to design and build two robots. Out of these, one cannot have a driving actuator (it can have a steering actuator though, fed by a line following circuit). The other is supposed to drive…

Maze wall hugging both clockwise and anti-clockwise

So I did the algorithm for the vehicle to go in a clockwise direction(Refer to my pseudocodes below). But now that my school had said there will be an anti-clockwise direction as well, I'm not sure what to do. Do I only reverse the logic of my…

issues with LSA-08 line sensor for line tracing

I am using LSA-08 self calibrating sensor for line following purpose. But the problem with my sensor is it can't distinguish between faint blue color and white color (having RGB values 185, 217, 235). Is there any technique for distinguishing them ?

Line Following Acute and Right angles and Proportional steering help

I am trying to figure out the logic for a line follower with the path shown in the attached image. I am having trouble with <= 90 degree angle turns. So far, I have been using the logic where if the middle and a side's sensor are on the line and…

Robotics flag at start of maze

Just to give u a little background of what I am doing, I am currently programming my vehicle to wall-hug a maze. My idea is that my vehicle does a check at start whether or not it will move in clockwise or anti clockwise direction. The thing I am…
