Description
Summary:This project basically is to build a mobile robot that is able to sense light and move toward the light source as an attraction of a robot. At the end of this project, a Light Guided Path Tracker Robot was build. The robot is operated without using any external controller to control a movement of the robot. Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) photocells are used as a sensors for the robot that will detect the light source and controlled by PIC 16F877A as a controller. The sensor acts as radar to detect light illuminating from surrounding and will produce a certain differential potential. These potential differentials which is an analog signal processed by a microcontroller as a digital value, and a microcontroller will sending an instruction to the output which is consist of a mechanical system to make the robot move.
