Introduction
(in about 300 words)

We the team ​Vector​, have gone through the problem statement of IARC. The
main chassis of the bot will be similar to that of a normal bot having 2 rear
wheels and one caster at front. Considering the problem statement we have
kept provision for sensor array of ​IR LEDs and photodiodes​, ​ultrasonic
sensors​, ​Color Sensors and ​encoder​. More description is given in the
following contents. The bot will be powered through adapter. We have
planned to ​implement PID​. Different tasks such as speed control and angle
calculation from node detection will be solved by different algorithms.
CONSTRUCTION
(Describe the anatomy of your robot by giving ​details about all the mechanical and
electrical components used also include images, references, and links wherever
appropriate in not more than 600 words)

Power​ :
The bot relies on a ​12V/3A​ Switch mode power supply for its power.
The 12V is converted to 5V using ​Buck Converter​ and regulated using
Linear Voltage Regulator ​LM7805​. The sensors and main processing unit
are powered using the 5V line and the motors is powered using the 12V
power supply.

Sensors​ :
1. IR Sensor Array ​: Infra-Red sensor array is used to sense the 3cm
Black line , which is to be followed.

2. Ultrasonic Sensor​ : ​3 Ultrasonic Sensors are used in 3 different

directions for the detection of wooden block on the
dead end and also for the wall detection part of the
problem statement.
3. Color Sensor​ : Color sensor such as TCS34725 or TCS3200 is
used to detect the color of the red or green light.
4. Rotary Encoder ​: Rotary encoder will probably be used to find and
maintain accurate speed of the bot

Main Processing Unit​ :

The Main brain of bot is an Atmel ​ATMEGA328P ​microcontroller,

Which would take the readings from the various available sensors and then
perform all the computations and give the control signals for the motors .

Actuators​ :
The Bot uses ​two DC Motors which are controlled by suitable ​H-bridge
Motor controller . The rotating speed of wheels and motor are controlled
by the control signal from the MPU
WORKING PRINCIPLE
(Describe the working of your robot also describe the control systems, and algorithms used.
Also, include your INNOVATION (if used) i.e., how is your robot different from a
conventional one. Also, Describe your PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH. Also include
images, references, etc., in not more than 800 words)

1. Line Following​ : The bot uses very simple ​PID algorithm​ and
conditional statements to control the speed and
directions of the motor .

2. Node Detection​ : The IR sensors are used to detect the nodes(matrix)

and the data from it is converted to arrays and
compared to predefined arrays by the MPU which
takes the subsequent decisions .

3. Obstacle Detection​ : The 3 ultrasonic sensors data along with a simple

PID algorithm is used to detect and avoid
obstacles .

4. Speed Measurement​: Rotary encoder may be used to measure the

speed of the bot which is used as a feedback to
maintain a desired speed.

5. ​Signal Detection​ : The ​color sensor​ data is processed by the

MPU which detects the colors
