Mission briefing

In this project, we will build a line following robot that will follow a black line against a white background. The robot will make use of a pair of infrared sensors to track the orientation of the robot and drive the robot accordingly.

Mission briefing

A line following robot

Why is it awesome?

The Pi, as you have seen in the last few projects, offers you immense functionality and many advantages over microcontrollers. You can bring this power and smaller footprints to robotics. So, we are getting you started off with the line following robot. Once you get this under control, the possibilities are endless, making this an awesome segue into robotics and beyond.

Your Hotshot objectives

In this project, we will build the line following robot in the following steps:

  • Assembly of the Pi Plate for the line following robot
  • Sensor selection, interfacing sensors, and data interpretation
  • Implementation of line following logic based on sensor data
  • Testing the motor driver circuit
  • Preparation of the line following...
