Project

Advanced Line Follower Robot

High-speed competition robot using closed-loop control and custom sensor arrays for precise line tracking at race speeds.

Problem Statement

Compete in technical robotics events that require reliable, high-speed path tracking on challenging line courses.

System Design

Dense line-sensor array feeding a tuned PID loop running on a high-frequency microcontroller, with differential drive and encoder feedback for correction.

Key Challenges

Maintaining stability at high speeds, rejecting ambient light interference on the sensor array, and tuning controllers across multiple course layouts.

Results

Multiple podium finishes at national-level competitions including IIT Bombay Techfest, IIT Madras Shaastra, IIIT Delhi and Technoxian championships.
