LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT USING L293D motor driver


LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT

The concept of the line follower robot is related to light. Here, we use the behavior of light on the black-and-white surface. The white color reflects all the light that falls on it, whereas the black color absorbs the light.
In this line-follower robot, we use IR transmitters and receivers (photodiodes). They are used to send and receive the lights. When IR rays fall on a white surface, they are reflected toward the IR receiver, generating some voltage changes.Black surfaces absorb infrared radiation and do not reflect any of the rays that fall on them; therefore, no photons reach the infrared receiver.
In this project, when the IR sensor senses a white surface, an Arduino gets 1 (high) as input, and when it senses a black line, an Arduino gets 0 (low) as input. Based on these inputs, an Arduino Uno provides the proper output to control the bot.
