9 INFRARED LED TRANSMITTER(SENS 2
OR) 10 PHOTODIODE RECEIVER(SENSOR) 2 It comprises of making the robot follow a color contrasting strip(ie black on white and white on black). This was done using a comparator circuit using the IR led’s whose transmitted light is being used in generation of signals in photodiode This is based on the phenomenon that the status of signals generated by photodiode change The comparator circuits were used for the signal generated from photodiodes. The intensity of light from the IR led should be adequate for the current generation the two ends of IR-receiver were connected to ground and positive terminal of the comparator . The output of these two were The robot can be used as a guider to guide the visitors from the entrance . It can help doctors to carry the medicines . It can rescue the people by extinguishing fire in case of rescue missions. It can work in hazardous environments. In the present condition it can follow a single path way and not a crisscross one. the robot could not be run through the batteries because at some conditions the current requirement for the circuit rises to about .8A which is very high and can not be obtained using batteries.
