Designed and developed a line following robot for E yantra robotics competetion
- The robot brain is made up several Verilog modules all tied up together to operate in concert.
- These parts include modules for line sensor, color sensor, Xbee control for UART communication, Motor controller and PWM, Dijkstra's Algorithm.
- The Arena consists of black lines and nodes.
- When All three parts of the line sensor are over the black region, it is on a node.
- Line following is made such so that bot tries to allign it's central line sensor on the black line and both left and right sensors over the white area.
- Based on the readings of the line sensor the bot must make decisions regarding it's turns. Turns are taken by controlling individual motors in opposite directions.
- The map is stored as a matrix in verilog module and the DIJKSTRA's Algorithm is used to decide turns.
