Computer Vision Assisted Line Following Robot

Abstract

This paper proposed a way of automating the supply chain in industries. For the purpose of demonstration an industrial manufacturing site is modeled as a multi colored zone with a robot representing the vehicles. Navigation of the robot within the zone is realized through line following techniques with intelligence provided by appropriate image processing. The components used are a laptop, a Line Follower, USB camera, serial communication cable.The processes involved are color based segmentation, robot navigation, character differentiation, node counting, transmission of navigation signals.
