Workshops
Written by Fatma Jebri

In February 2009 the IEEE ENIT SB has started its robotics workshop activities by a “line tracking robot” as a first project.

The workshop was run by Abedelkarim Hamdi, Mouadh Chatti and Mehdi Kanzari. Several undergraduates SB members were invited to discover the world of robotics through the weekly workshops.

Goals were to design and to build a line tracking robot able to follow any path marked out on the ground. Documents required to elaborate the robot were distributed to members who joined the workshop. Required components made available through a local supplier.

Currently, the line tracking robot is able to drive itself along the track with varying speed. With its receiver and infrared diode, it can either follow a white line (the receiver sensor the light reflected by the infrared diode) or a black one depending on the microcontroller’s program. In additional, the robot may function without the sensors through a predefined trajectory program. Two engines were used, one to drive the right wheels and the other for the left ones. To turn right, the left engine is launched and vice versa to turn left. To stop, the current run in the engines is inversed.
