Line-following robot architecture
Our architecture for a line-following robot will have a specific set of features, which are:
Wireless remote access to the robot
Text-driven interface for remote control using Python
Buttons on the robot to start/stop and shutdown the robot processing
A single PiCam camera sensor
Two-wheel drive with a dragging tail
We will provide you with a downloadable-parts list for this model, but, you could just as easily implement it as either a tracked or four-wheel skid-steer robot. The following image is our line-following robot:
Software architecture
We will develop our robot based on a multi-module approach. This strategy will enable you to analyze the methodology used to implement the robot. The software architecture for our line-following robot is shown in the following image:
Software module functions
Each software module in the architecture will have a specific function, as detailed in the following table:
