The Line Following Robot is a classic introductory robotics project designed for students who are starting their journey in electronics and robotics.

This robot detects and follows a visible line on the surface using infrared (IR) sensors. Based on sensor input, the controller adjusts motor direction and speed through a motor driver, allowing the robot to stay on the path automatically.

This project helps students understand sensor interfacing, decision-making logic, and real-time motor control, making it an essential learning tool for robotics fundamentals.
