Features

• Line Following: The robot uses sensors to detect and follow a black line on the ground.
• Obstacle Avoidance: The robot uses ultrasonic and infrared sensors to detect and avoid obstacles on the black line.
• Servo Integration: Controls the servo to look left and right for better obstacle detection.
• Motor Control: Uses DC motors and a motor driver for controlling the robot's movement along the line.

Hardware

• Microcontroller: Arduino-compatible board (e.g., Arduino Uno).
• Ultrasonic Sensor: HC-SR04 sensor for distance measurement.
• Infrared Sensors: IR sensors for line detection and obstacle avoidance.
• Servo: Standard servo motor for controlling the robot's head movement.
• DC Motors: Motors and motor driver for controlling the robot's movement.
• Motor Driver: AFMotor library is used to control DC motors.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Arduino IDE
• Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
• Required libraries: NewPing, Servo, AFMotor

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Abhishek-2502/Line_Follower_Robot_With_Object_Detection.git
   cd line-following-robot

2. Install the necessary libraries using the Arduino Library Manager:

   • Open the Arduino IDE and go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries.
   • Search for NewPing, Servo, and AFMotor.
   • Install the libraries if they are not already installed.

3. Connect your Arduino board to your computer.

4. Open the line_following_robot.ino file in the Arduino IDE.

5. Compile and upload the code to your Arduino board.

Usage

Once the code is uploaded to the Arduino board:

• Connect the hardware: Connect the ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensors, servo, and DC motors as described in the code.
• Power the robot: Provide power to the Arduino board and motors.
• Observe the robot: The robot should start following the black line on the ground. It will avoid obstacles present on the line using its sensors.

Media

Troubleshooting

• If the robot does not follow the line as expected, check the sensor alignment and calibration.
• Ensure the correct libraries are installed and included in the code.
• Check the serial monitor for any debug information.
