3D model description

Inspired by industrial line followers I decided to build my own, smaller and open source version of such a robot based on Arduino and cheap components. The goal of this project is to make a concept robot that can help on assembly lines and factories.

Have you ever wondered how those fancy robots that transport parts on assembly lines work? I saw such robots at Opel factory here in Poland, I asked a lot of questions and they explain to me how it works, I instantly understood that this is just a really advanced line follower. Instead of black tape there is magnetic strip and instead of light sensors there are magnetic sensors, there are also a lot of safety features and other smart things. But at this point I started thinking that maybe I can build my own smaller, cheaper, Arduino based and open source version of such a robot that will be able to smartly transport stuff around? Sounds like a big challenge, that’s what I like!
