LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT

Line follower is a machine that can follow a path. The path can be
visible like a black line on a white surface (or vice-versa) or it can be
invisible like a magnetic field.
Sensing a line and maneuvering the robot to stay on course, while
constantly correcting wrong moves using feedback mechanism forms
a simple yet effective closed loop system. As a programmer you get
an opportunity to teach the robot how to follow the line thus giving
it a human-like property of responding to stimuli.
Practical applications of a line follower: Automated cars running on
roads with embedded magnets; guidance system for industrial robots
moving on shop floor etc.
The working principle of this bot is sensor on getting blocked or
unblocked sends combination of high/low signals to AT89C51
microcontroller which are processed and appropriate signals are sent
to L293D (motor driver chip) which switches on/off the motors so as
to keep the robot moving in one direction.
