It is an Arduino based project which mainly deals with automatic railway gate operation. The ultimate goal of the automatic railway gate operation is to replace gates operated by man(gatekeepers)at a level crossing to an automated unmanned level crossing system. The project mostly has to do it with two things, firstly it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed and secondly it contributes to the safety of the road users by reducing accidents.
The self-balancing robot is similar to an upside down pendulum. Similar is the case with a self-balancing robot, only that the robot will fall either forward or backward. Just like how we balance a stick on our finger, we balance the robot by driving its wheels in the direction in which it is falling. The main principle here is to keep the center of gravity of the robot exactly above the pivot point.
This project consists of a robot which follows a black line drawn on a plain white surface. Whenever power supply on robot is turned on, the robot starts following the line. This robot utilizes an array of infrared transmitters and receivers. Simple line follower robot can be built without micro-controller.
