Here is gallery of pics of my Autonomous bot. It a line follower robot car. This bot has evolved over 3 years, from 2004 to 2007. Generally people make 3-4 different bots in this period, however I stuck to same kind of chassis design because of lack of time to re-make whole chassis and funds .

1 Line follower robot car used at RAIT tech fest Used at RAIT competition in 2005. First successful model . Very first model was with steppers and AT90S2313 which failed miserably.
Circuit version 1.0 : Uses LM339 for sensors, ULN2803 for motor driving.
2 Line follower robotic car used in RAIT tech fest Testing at home.
Used at RAIT 2005. This was my 2nd robotics competition. I had made it perfect at home itself. On the competition venue, It just ran Gr8, without even reprogramming !
3 Line follower robot car - Close up view Same one, with slight close-up. Cells removed.
4 Version 1 - line follower robot circuit made on grid PCB Circuit version 2.0
started using onchip ADC. This reduced lot of clutter of comparators. Used L293D for bidirectional motor drive. Added MAX232 for serial communication. My mega16 development kit is based on this.
5 Perspective view of the chassis of the line follower robot Perspective view of the chassis of the line follower robot. Rebuilt chassis. I have used this in many competitions.
6 Bottom view of the chassis of the line follower robot ottom view of the chassis of the line follower robot
7 the line follower robot with edge detection mechanism implemented Simple Edge detector. Prevents itself from falling off the table edges.
I have made this recently, for demonstration at robotics, workshop Somaiya Science college.

    Hey Elecrom! That’s a sweet piece of technology! Congrats on the Achievements….I’m a 1st sem student of GIT and am crazy about robots(hence the EC branch! 🙂 ) Since there’s no search option i wanted to know whether you have any basic tutorial for a budding robot enthusiast…or any video tutorial, can you give me a basic iDea of how you got started..I would really like to compete at ultra-cool festS like techfest and tryst,etc! ThaNX! Please do reply! I really look upto to you! 🙂
