Asian Journal of Applied Science and Engineering, Volume 2, No 2 (2013) ISSN 2305-915X Design and Fabrication of Line Follower Robot M. S. Islam M. A. Rahman Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, Rajshahi-6204, BANGLADESH ABSTRACT Line follower robot is a robo car that can follow a path. The path can be visible like a black line on the white surface (or vice-verse). It is an integrated design from the knowledge of Mechanical, Electrical and Computer engineering. This paper presents a 700gm weight of a 9W LDR sensor based line follower robot design and fabrication procedure which always directs along the black mark on the white surface. The electromechanical robot dimension is 7 52.5 cubic inches with a cost of BDT 1150. This low cost fundamental electronic component based line sensing robot can carry a load of about 500gm without getting off the line. Key Words: Line Follower, Robot, Electromechanical. 1 INTRODUCTION n the early 1800’s mechanical puppets were first built in Europe, just for entertainment value. And these were called robots since their parts were driven by linkage and cams Iand controlled by rotating drum selectors. In 1801 Joseph Maria Jacquard made the next great change and invented the automatic draw loom. The draw looms would punch cards and was used to control the lifting of thread in fabric factories. This was the first to be able to store a program and control a machine. After that there were many small changes in robotics. The first industrial robots were Unimates developed by George Devol and Joe Engelberger in the late 50’s and early 60’s. The first patent was by Devol but Engelberger formed Unimation which was th
