Chapter 16: The BOOST Humanoid
Up to this point, you have built various types of robots using this book. Did you observe one thing that they have in common? None of these robots have their own eyes through which they can see and follow a specific path! Usually, robots tend to follow the line and accomplish the iterative tasks on a specific given route. Ideally, these robots are used in warehouses as well as other indoor industrial applications. You will be building a similar line-following robot using the color sensor that you have in the BOOST kit. As the name suggests, a robot will follow the black line and reach out to the required places to accomplish the tasks:
Figure 16.1 – Line-following robots at a warehouse
In this chapter, you will do the following:
- Build a line-following robot
- Let's code a robot to follow the line
- Time for a challenge
In this robot, you will be replicating a human-like structure with legs, hands...
