CHAPTER ONE
1 .INTRODUCTION
1.1. line following robot
The Line Following Robot is an autonomous robot that detects a path and according to the path
drawn, it follows the path with the help of an IR sensor attached to the robot. Autonomous robot
are robots that can perform with a high degree of autonomy, which is particularly desirable in
fields such as space exploration, cleaning floors, mowing lawn, and waste water treatment. Some
modern factory robots are “an autonomous” within the strict confines of their direct environment.

It may not be that every degree of freedom exists in their surrounding environment, but the
factory robot’s workplace is challenging and can often contain chaotic, unpredictable variables.
The exact orientation and position of the next object of work and even the type of object and the
required task must be determined. This can vary un predictably .One important area of robotics
research is to enable robot to cope with its environment whether this be on land, underwater, in
the air, underground, or in space.

The path can be either a Black line drawn over a white surface or a white line drawn over a
black surface thus avoiding any detection error. Line follower robot also consists of an obstacle
sensor that detects any obstacle in front of the Robot thus avoiding any unnecessary accidents.
Line follower robot is designed and programmed in such a way that it does its job perfectly
without any error and detects its given path. It operates in such a way that it detects and reads the
path and transmits the signal to ARDUINO UNO.

The microcontroller decides to make any changes (if needed) in the directions or speeds of the
robot according to the inputs received. Thus, it sends the control signal to the speed and
directions of the line follower robot. This way the line follower robot operates without any error.
To make a line follower robot with object detection ability it is attached with an ultrasonic
sensor, which is a device that can measures the distance between an object and robot by using
sound waves.

It calculates the distance between the line following robot Classical line following robot is slow
response to the error occur will easily leave its track that drawn on the floor. This problem will
cause the motion of the robot to be unsmooth. Although the line following robot can follow the
black lines, its motion still needs to be improved.

The design and development of an autonomous line tracking robot is a very complicated task.
There are many aspects that should be considered such as mechanical system, electrical circuit
and microprocessor programming.

All these aspects need to be fully integrated between each other. So that, the autonomous robot
can be perfectly functional to achieve the tasks provided In order to make sure this autonomous
robot system fully integrate, the challenges are to decide and choose the best device should be
implemented in this autonomous robot system Furthermore, there are many types of
rnicrocontroller, sensor device and driven motor in the market. Each of them has difference
specifications, capability and functions.

The biggest obstacle is to program the microcontroller based on the information gathered from
the robot's line sensors. Basically each sensor provides the information to controller based on the
signal that they got and the controller will decide what to do base on the programming loaded.
For line sensor case, its information based on the rate of reflected light that have been detected
by detector. In different environment or brightness of area, the rate of light detected by detector
is fully different. So, the strong programming languages knowledge are needed to synchronize
environment changes with the execute program in the microcontroller.

1.2 .back ground of line following robot


In recent years, robotics has revolutionized various industries worldwide, particularly in
healthcare. Line follower robots have been widely adopted in hospitals for tasks such as
medicine delivery, patient assistance, and logistics management.

These robots improve efficiency, reduce human error, and enhance patient care, making them
an essential part of modern healthcare automation In time of automation advances to reduce
human efforts, it is necessary to develop colour line following robot, this robot can be used in
airports to carry equipment and baggage from one place to another place, and it can be used for
home automation, in restaurant it is used as robotic waiter like in Robot Restaurant in Poreur,
Chennai. It was opened in November 2017.

Advantage of such robots is that they can operate efficiently for 6-7 long hours with a single
charge. Thus, it is profitable for the business itself. Therefore, for a large country like India, it is
necessary to use the line following robots in restaurants, industries etc. Such Robots come into
play when large and heavy machineries are to be transferred from one place to another within
industries. This technology can be implemented in running buses or other mass transit systems.

In Africa, the adoption of robotics in hospitals is gradually increasing, particularly in well-


equipped medical centers. However, challenges such as high costs, lack of technical expertise,
and infrastructure limitations have slowed their widespread implementation. Research and
simulation-based projects play a crucial role in bridging this gap by developing cost-effective,
locally adaptable robotic solutions.

In Ethiopia, hospitals face significant challenges in resource management and staff workload.
Automating certain tasks with line follower robots can help optimize hospital operations,
especially in urban medical centers. Developing and simulating such a system using a
microcontroller allows for cost-effective testing before real-world deployment, contributing to
the advancement of medical technology in ethiopia

1.3. Problem of Statement


Hospitals often face challenges in efficiently transporting medical supplies, laboratory samples,
and essential equipment between different departments. Relying on human staff for these tasks
can lead to delays, increased workload, and the risk of human error, especially in large healthcare
facilities.

Additionally, during emergency situations or disease outbreaks, minimizing human contact is


crucial to preventing infections. However, many hospitals, particularly in Ethiopia, lack
automated solutions to streamline these processes. Developing a line follower robot controlled
by a microcontroller provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative.

By simulating and optimizing the robot’s movement within hospital environments, this project
aims to enhance operational efficiency, reduce human workload, and contribute to a more
automated healthcare system. Early there was classical line follower robot which is used to carry
Childs in recreation area. As Well as to carry materials from one fixed area to other fixed area.
But this classical line following robot has some problems such as; slow response of the error and
easily leave its track that drawn on the floor. So this problem will result the motion of the robot
to be unsmooth and sometimes robot tends to move out of the track.

Now a day, some systems use Technology to overcome these problems. So we can use
microcontroller based line following robot to overcome the problems. The line follower robot
follows the given line and it has sensor which sense the obstacles on its track. Also the motion of
line following robot can be improved by using feedback mechanism which forms an effective
closed loop system. In this project, we are going to use microcontroller because of easy
implementation on autonomous robot.

Generally we want to design microcontroller based line follower robot which smoothly follow
the track and make less error.

CHAPTER TWO
2. LITERATURE SERVEY
2.1. literature review

Several studies have explored the design, implementation, and applications of line follower
robots. Smith et al. (2015) discussed the role of mobile robots in hospital automation,
emphasizing their ability to reduce human effort and enhance operational efficiency.

The study highlighted the importance of sensor-based navigation and the integration of
microcontrollers such as ARDUINO and PIC for autonomous control.

Similarly, Gupta and Sharma (2017) developed a prototype of a line follower robot using an
ARDUINO Uno and infrared sensors to follow a designated path. Their research demonstrated
that IR sensors effectively detect contrast differences between the line and the surrounding
surface, allowing for precise movement control. However, their study pointed out that external
lighting conditions could affect the accuracy of IR sensors.

Another study by Ahmed et al. (2019) focused on improving obstacle avoidance in line
follower robots. They incorporated ultrasonic sensors to detect and avoid obstacles in dynamic

environments. Their experimental results showed that ultrasonic sensors significantly enhanced
the robot's ability to navigate hospital corridors while avoiding collisions.

The study recommended further improvements through machine learning algorithms to predict
and respond to complex environments

The choice of sensors plays a crucial role in the efficiency of a line follower robot. According
to Lee and Kim (2020), the most commonly used sensors for line following are infrared sensors,
proximity sensors, and ultrasonic sensors. They found that IR sensors work well for detecting
predefined paths, while ultrasonic sensors are essential for avoiding obstacles in real-time.

Moreover, Patel et al. (2021) proposed a hybrid approach that combined camera-based vision
sensors with IR sensors to improve path detection accuracy. Their research demonstrated that
image processing techniques such as edge detection and color segmentation could improve the
robot's ability to follow complex paths, making it more adaptable for real-world hospital
environments. Hospitals require efficient, autonomous robots for material handling, and various
researchers have explored their practical applications.

Williams et al. (2018) investigated the deployment of line follower robots in hospital supply
chains. Their study indicated that robots could automate the transportation of medicines, lab
samples, and surgical instruments, reducing reliance on human staff and ensuring timely
deliveries.

Similarly, CHOWD HURY and Das (2022) analyzed the impact of robotic automation in
hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. They highlighted that contactless delivery of medical
supplies using robots significantly minimized the risk of infection transmission. Their study
suggested integrating IoT-based tracking systems to monitor the movement of line follower
robots within hospital premises.

While line follower robots have demonstrated significant potential, several challenges need to
be addressed for their widespread adoption in hospitals. Johnson et al. (2020) identified path
recognition issues, sensor calibration, and real-time obstacle detection as key challenges. Their
research emphasized the need for AI-driven navigation systems that enable robots to adapt to
dynamic hospital environments.

Additionally, Mukherjee and Singh (2023) explored the integration of LiDAR sensors and AI
algorithms for improving path-following efficiency. They concluded that machine learning-based
predictive navigation could enhance the robot's ability to handle complex pathways, sudden
obstacles, and varying floor conditions.
