Design and implementation of static and dynamic objects store systems using line follower robots

Abstract

This paper introduces static and dynamic methods for objects store system using the line follower robot. The static means the robot moves on static lines to reach to any store location while the dynamic means that the arranged of the following lines is changed according to the location of the storage box. The static objects store system is represented by the Digital differential algorithm DDA and the dynamic objects store system is represented by the Bezier curve algorithm. In both environments the propose store system consists of several boxes that arranged in several columns. These boxes can be used to store and return small objects like mobile phones according to a secret code that entered from a user interface unit. The principle of store and restore of these objects is dependent on using line follower mobile robots. Both the methods are designed and software implemented in an environment with thirty boxes arranged in four columns. The comparisons between these algorithms are shown with respect to the length of the paths and time of arrival.
