Line tracker Robot (with infrared system) 

 

 

Arduino System 

 

These instructions indicate how to build the same Arduino-type smart robot vehicle. It states how to 

install step by step robot chassis, Arduino compatible motherboard, Shield module, geared motors, battery 
holder and the other accessories as well as their wiring system. 

With this project, you will learn how to program the Arduino system and its learning platform. 
It should be noted that to assemble this kit, 

 only a screwdriver is needed, NOT INCLUDED

 

included. All electrical and electronic 

parts can be connected or screwed

 into a terminal block or Clema. 

The system of infrared light sensors which are installed on the front part basis, detects the black line 

that you done on the floor with an adhesive tape forming a way. The intelligent robot will perfectly follow the 
drawn path as complicated or long as it is.
