Abstract
Line follower is a smart autonomous robot that detects or follows a visible line embedded in the ground. The trail is predetermined and can be selected with a high contrast color or with a black line visible on the trail surface. Infrared sensors are used to detect these lines. Typically speaking, the area unit of the infrared sensors is used to locate the path that the robot has to follow. The robot movement is automatic and can be used for applications of long distances. It is the fundamental line follower robot’s function. The device proposed for commercial, medical, rescue and military operations are extremely useful. In particular, these past constraints are no longer necessary with recent technological advances in computing. The production of tracking systems can now be made more capable of reliably estimating the target location behind the obstacle. The benefit of these technologies consists in the possibility of using an ultrasonic method for measurement without direct contact with a target. Different models and systems for indoor and outdoor object detection have been described in the literature. Using optical, heat base, infrared and ultrasonic approaches, object localization techniques were introduced. Indoor positioning systems monitor and locate objects and enclose environments inside buildings. Wireless methods, optical tracking, and ultrasonic techniques are used for object position detection systems. The goal of this study is to develop a monitoring system that follows certain paths and can detect objects and edges using ultrasonic frequencies. If some object is put, a regular line follower will try to move and smash the obstacle. This prototype of line follower robot tries to push the limit little to overcome this issue. It has been built in a way that any obstacle in front of it can be identified. It will stop and will not pass until the barrier remains. Also, it is able to identify every front edge and comply similarly. In industries, such as material handling, this type of robot performs many tasks. These robots are also used as machine-controlled carrier instruments in old conveyor belts switching industries.
