Aim
The aim of the project is to build a robot which follows the line.
Problem statement
A major inconvenience during shopping is pushing the heavy trolleys without hitting anyone. This is made easier by the help of line following trolleys. The trolley navigates through curves, turns, and intersections smoothly and accurately, while maintaining a consistent speed. It is reliable and able to handle various surface conditions and lighting conditions. The trolley detects and avoid obstacles along the path, and stop or reroute if necessary making your shopping experience enjoyable.
Material used
Input: 2 IR Proximity Sensors
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
