What you'll learn
The Follow-Me Robot course is a practical robotics program designed to teach learners how to develop a robotic vehicle that can detect and follow a moving target while maintaining an appropriate distance. The course combines electronics, Arduino programming, sensors, motor control, mechanical assembly, and autonomous movement logic.
Students learn how distance and tracking sensors can be used to identify a target and provide information to the microcontroller. Based on sensor readings, the robot can move forward, stop, or change direction to follow the target. Through hands-on projects, learners develop skills in sensor integration, motor control, programming, calibration, and autonomous robotic navigation.
