Abstract

The project aims to develop an autonomous line-following robot for academic competitions, promoting learning in electronics, programming, and automation. Based on practical application, its technical feasibility, and pedagogical value, the robot follows the UPx6 competition standards, prioritizing precision and autonomy. Using DC motors, infrared sensors, and a microcontroller, the project integrates theory and practice, encourages teamwork, and has real-world applications in automated systems, establishing itself as an accessible educational and technological tool.
