Electrical and Electronic Design

Introduction
This report will outline the design, construction and testing of our line following robot. It will
show detailed sections on the design stage and how each individual’s tasks came together to
make the robot function.
The report will stress the difficulties that we as a group have faced throughout the module
as well as the changes that we needed to make to achieve a functional product.
Aims
The aim of this module was to work as a group to design and construct a robot capable of
following a white line.
We will be aiming to improve our knowledge of robotics as well as electronic circuit design
and construction.
We will be working as a group, and thus should improve our skills of working together to
achieve goals.
Objectives
Construct a Line Following Robot:
• That will follow a white line path on the floor.
• Give a warning when it is moving.
• Stop within safe distance of an object in its path.
• Give a warning or notification that it has sensed an object over the path.
• Automatically continue when object moved.
Project Restrictions:
• It has to be battery powered and be able to operate for up to 2 hours without having
to be recharged.
• Must be no larger than 20x20x20cm in dimensions.
• Must be made within a budget of £25.00.
Design Schedule
Here is the group Gantt chart, showing when we intended to do the tasks over the year, and
when they were actually carried out:
