Line following inductive robot is an autonomous robot toy that detects and follows the black line over any white surface or bright surface. This inductive robot has a pair of reflective infrared sensor modules. The concept of working is simple, it is based on the difference in the amount of reflection of infrared (IR) rays from black and white surface. Black is said to be perfect absorbent and white to be a perfect reflector. This also means the amount of reflection will also depend upon the color of the surface from which it is being reflected.
A microcontroller acts as the toy robot's brain, and it may be programmed to provide unique characteristics. This is a novelty robot toy that magically follows the black line. If you move the small robot to a different location, it will circle in circles until it reaches the line. The black line is read by an optical sensor on the toy.
