Project Title:

              Light Tracking Robot

Components:

1) Battery pack

2) Barrel jack

3) Breadboard

4) Barrel jack breadboard adapter

5) Switch

6) Jumper wires

7) DC Motor

8) MOSFET

Working Principle of Robot:

The robot uses a Special electronic circuit to control the speed of two motors through the use of two light sensor . The motor are connected to the robots wheel which allow it to drive around . If both light sensor detect the same amount of light the wheels spins at the same speed so the robot goes straight. If one light sensor detect more light than others , one wheel will spin faster , which will make the robot turn.

Applications of Light Tracking Robot:

• Used to follow black line on white background and vice versa.

• Used in various industrial and domestic applications such as to “Carry goods, floor cleaning, transportation.”

• Alarm devices.

• Street light’s.

• Camera can use this technology to determine proper time.

• Laptop may be used this device to brightness on the screen.

Conclusion:

The robot was finally running with a few glitches here and there . The robot is capable of following lines by comparing light on either sides through this project we have learned the basics of electronic circuit, Motors, sensors, comparator , basic of microcontroller and installation of programing into microcontroller.

ABSTRACT

The increasing demand of making the roads safer has trigged a lot of companies to

develop complete self-driving cars. A self-driving car requires a great number of different

sensors as gyros, radars, GPS, tachymeters etc. and advanced software. This thesis will

focus on the possibilities of using only light sensing devices for a tracking robot and

examine the advantages and disadvantages of this.

The purpose is to investigate which type of light sensor is more suitable for a tracking

robot and what the limitations of a tracking robot using this technology are.

A demonstrator using two light sensors for controlling speed and direction and a colour

sensor to avoid obstacles will be built. Apart from choosing the most suitable sensor for a

light-tracking robot the sensing distance and range of the chosen one will be tested.

To investigate the different light-tracking possibilities and the accuracy of the

demonstrator, the vehicle will be put in an open indoor space with arranged coloured

luminous obstacles. The robot will be tested in both a completely dark room and a lit

room. The intention with the outcome is to see the differences of the robots behaviour

when disturbances from surrounding light are added as an additional aspect.

The results from the test are presented and the use of different sensors are discussed.

The final conclusion on using light sensing for a tracking robot is that it is an easy and

inexpensive method, but it should be used as a complement to other sensing devices not

as a stand-alone method.
