Fuzzy Line Following NXT Robot. Stefan Bracher. One of the tutorials within the Lego Mindstorms NXT Software shows how to program a robot that follows a line using Boolean Logic. In the following, an improved version, based on Fuzzy Logic, is presented. Although a little bit more complex, the program is still implemented using NXT G Code. Video. Fuzzy Logic Line Follower. Xampp 1.7 3 For Windows 7 64 Bit. Original Line Follower Courtesy of Davidin. Original Boolean Logic Version by Lego. The original version by Lego uses the reflected light to distinguish between black the line and white the floor. This video tutorial teaches you how to program the color sensor to follow a straight line smoothly using Lego Mindstorms EV3. The easy way of learning how to built your own Line follower Robot using a PID Controller without any of the mathematical expressions that you will find on most. Etymology. The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel apek in his play R. U. R. Rossums Universal. You are viewing the 2017 Program.

PocketBot a matchboxsized line following robot. PocketBot project consists of three parts. The key part of the project is the robot itself a tiny line following. The Finch currently supports Python in two ways. We have a native Python library and we also have access to Finchs Java libraries through Jython, a variant of Python.

When the sensor is on the white surface, the right motor is activated and the robot turns left. In this way, the robot follows the line. Or to be correct, it follows the boundary between black and white. The approach is very simple and effective. However, as the robot only distingushes between black and white, the resulting movement looks as if it would be drunk. Fuzzy Logic variant. The idea behind the new version is, not only to distinguish between black and white, but to consider various degrees of grey. If the sensor is exactly on the boundary, it will see a colour that is between black and white. The more the sensor gets on the line, the blacker the perceived colour is. There are three programs provided for the Line Follower The LineFollow2 program is a basic Two State line follower that uses a simple zigzag method of line. On the other hand, the more the sensor gets on the white surface, the whiter the perceived colour is. This is called Fuzzy Logic as we do not consider absolute states Boolean Logic, here Black and White but different degrees of those states Whiter, Blacker. Now we are not limited anymore to turn only left and right, but can turn more right blacker colour or more left whiter colour. In this way, if exactly on the colour boundary, the robot runs straight ahead. To achieve this, the left and right motors are controlled according to the diagram below Implementation in NXT G Code. Implemented in NXT G Code that looks as follows The program consists of three loops that run at the same time. The first loop reads the current reflected light value and stores it in the variable called Number 1. The second and third loop control the left and right motors. The reflected light sensor gives a value between 0 and 1. A typical value for a black surface is around 2. These values depend of on the ambient right conditions and the distance of the sensor from the surface. The motor power itself as well is a value between 0 and 1. To produce the motor commands as described in the schema, the following calculations have to be done APowerSensorValue BlackValueSpeedFactor. BPowerWhiteValue SensorValuepeedFactor. For BlackValue2. WhiteValue6. SpeedFactor of 2. SensorValue. APower. BPower. 20. 01. 00. Fine tuning. If you program your NXT with the above program, and the robot does not run as expected, check the following Make sure you have a robot with the two drive motors connected to the ports A and B. Your light sensor should be around 1cm above the surface. Atomega is a multiplayer shooter by Ubisoft Reflections, the studio that made Grow Home and Grow Up. It comes out for PC September 19.

Take a reading of what your robot sees as white and replace the value in the substraction block of the third loop with it. Start with a multiplication factor of 1 2nd and 3rd loop and increase it slowly.
