![]() Such smart tags are readable and writeable and can contain some bytes of data (they works at near 1GHz frequency). I will add that I can easily build a self driven rover using the smart tags that are applied (self-adhesive) to the rubbish-bags in my city. I think that will be not too difficult to discriminate betrween our guide wire (with no signals) and various pipes and electric wires in the floor, however, if you read my post up to the end, I suggested to use small wires cut at certain length to make easier to measure the resonance at a specific frequency. Using this way the rover can emit a specific frequency and measure the feedback more efficiently. I also suggest to not use a single long wire, but small pieces cut at a length thay can resonate at a certain frequency (like some cheap tags used as anti-robbery in supermarkets). Anyway, I will prefere a solution with a simple metallic wire without any emission. If the wire is emitting a signal (for example the classic 50Hz of mains power) the detector circuit will be very easy to build, making a difference amplifier for two magnetic heads (solenoids) and then discriminate the position of the wire respect to the sensors. Also I know there are studies for “smart cities” with similar approach to make vehicles able to run without a driver in the city (or run with a driver that is looking at his smartphone’s screen, writing messages to friends). I don’t know, it’s just an opinion, but I would use one of such approaches if going to create my own prototype. Also, if the magnet is strong enough, the device can measure the force applied to the flexible support that holds the strong magnet. The rover will generate some electrical or magnetic field and measure the energy absorbed by the wire, or may have two fixed magnets and measure the disperded flux when the metallic wire is near to one of such magnets. I think the wire is just a (metallic) wire. Posted in Robots Hacks Tagged automation, following, inductance, inductive, line, robot, wire Post navigation We’ve recently seen robots that are built to utilize these forms of navigation as well. While inductive guided robots have been used for decades now, they’re starting to be replaced by robots with local positioning systems and computer vision. His video goes into the details of how they work, more of their advantages and disadvantages, and a few other things. ’s robot is a small demonstration of a larger system he built as a technician for an autonomous guided vehicle system. They also support multiple paths, so no complicated track switching has to take place. Some of the benefits of inductive guidance over physical lines are that the wires can be hidden in floors, so if something like an automated forklift is using them at a warehouse there will be less trip hazard and less maintenance of the guides. Some, like this inductive guided robot from make use of wires to determine their paths. They’re pretty useful in industry, but most of them don’t follow visible marked lines. It turns out that line-following robots are more than just a learning tool, too. 51 wishlist games found in available bundles.Line-following robots are a great intro to robotics in general, since the materials and skills needed to build a good one aren’t too advanced.
