    Step 1: The Working

    So there will be infrared proximity sensors placed Case 2:-


    on either side at the front of the robot. There are four
    possible sensor outcomes:- In this case, only the left sensor detects the line
    which means that the car requires to turn in the left
    Case 1:- direction. The left motor rotates backward and the
    right motor rotates forward. As a result, the car turns
    In this case, both the sensors don't detect the line. left.
    Both the motors rotate forward. As a result, the car
    moves forward. Case 3:-

    In this case, only the right sensor detects the line In this case, both the sensors detect the line. This
    which means that the car requires to turn in the means that the end has come. Both the motors stop
    right direction. The left motor rotates forward and rotating. As a result, the car stops.
    the right motor rotates backward. As a result, the car
    turns right. That is the working structure of our robot...

    Case 4:-

    Step 2: Parts Required

    The parts required to build the robot are as follows:

    Chassis (including motors and wheels )


    Arduino Uno r3
    L293D Motor Shield
    IR Proximity Sensors (pair)
    Jumper Wires
    Switch
    4AA Battery Holder

    Tools required:-

    Soldering Iron
    Hot Glue Gun
    Screw Driver

    Gather these parts and be ready for the next step ...

    Step 3: Assemble the Chassis

    Now, assemble your robot body. Everyone may have Also, attach the proximity sensors at the front on
    a different chassis. So assemble your chassis either side, facing down. Make sure that they are
    accordingly. Most of the chassis come with an attached at the corners...
    instruction manual and even mine came with it so
    have a look at it and build your chassis accordingly. Attach the switch too...
    Then, attach the components to the chassis.
    Arduino, with the motor shield attached to it and Solder wires to the motors and also switch and
    also the battery holder must be fixed on the keep ready...
    chassis.

    Step 4: Main Connections

    Now do the connections as per the diagram above...

    Left Sensor>>Arduino:-

    Vcc>>5v
    Gnd>>Gnd
    Out>>A4

    Right Sensor>>Arduino:-

    Vcc>>5v
    Gnd>>Gnd
    Out>>A5

    Connect the motors to the motor shield and plug the motor shield onto the Arduino board. Connect the
    battery holder to the shield through a switch. That's it for the connections, let's move on to the next step...

    Step 5: Arduino Code

    Now its time for the main thing- coding our robot...

    Download my Arduino code file or write up your own code to get done...

    I made this project but I decided to use my own chassis and board but the coding would be the
    same. I had to alter some parts of the code it could work with my robot but otherwise, it worked
    well.

    Awesome work...

    Hey i am going to make this for a student project and I was wondering do I only need the power
    source of the 4 AA batteries? Or do I need something to power the board as well?
    The 4 AA batteries can be used to power the board and the motors will be powered as well by
    them. So using 4 AA batteries are enough as the motor shield can provide the motors with enough
    current so you just have to connect the battery wires to the arduino power pins
    Ok that makes more sense. Thanks for the help!!!

    Thanks a lot...!!! I made it. There was some changes needed in the code that's it.

    How can I get it?
    Please, I need it for a student project
    Thanx

    Thank you man. Very nice of you. Good job. Great

    I have made all connections and coding but the left sensor is unable to rotate the motors, it reacts
    when black colour comes but it's unable to send signal to the motor and act accordingly, can u pls
    tell me where is the problem.
    You need to change the code because your sensors are of complement type. Means they give
    signal 1 when there is black line.
    Try checking sensor values using the serial monitor.

    The arduino microcontroller is used to control the moment of the robots. I was attended the ipt in
    trichy, it is very helpful for my projects to do my self.
