        abstract = {A line-following robot is a type of autonomous mobile robot that follows a certain line on the ground by detecting it with various sensors and controlling its movement using special algorithms. The robot type is used extensively for implementation in transport automation systems, warehouse management activities, and education robotics. At its center, how the robot can actually sort out the line from the background that it has to follow is simply by detecting some kind of contrast between the two surfaces and frequently having IR (IR) or Optical Sensors do this work for us. A microcontroller processes the sensor data, modulating the motor commands so that the robot continually follows accurately along its desired path. To improve robot performance to minimize tracking errors during motion, is also essential the integration of various algorithms — for example proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers.},
