Aim
The aim of the project is to build a robot which follows the light.
Problem statement
Tables are very useful for a variety of activities, such as studying, working, and relaxing. While light-weight tables are easy to move, they may not be able to support heavier objects. Conversely, heavy tables can be challenging to lift. The light-following table simplifies the task of moving a table by responding to a flashlight. It moves in accordance with the light, thus making the process easier. This feature is beneficial for anyone who needs to move a table from one location to another, as it eliminates the need for physical exertion.
