“The line follower, and collision detection robot was developed as part of a school project and was constructed to complete a path designated with a black line and stop before objects. This robot is a fun way to get started with working with embedded systems! It is a fairly simple program and circuit to construct, but it allows one to learn a great deal about electronics. The robot has various components and sensors that allow the robot to function properly. These include the Texas Instruments MSP430 F5529 LaunchPad, photoresistors, an infrared proximity sensor, an h-bridge, and two motors. Don’t worry if you do not know what each of these are because it will be explained more.”
