Description of the ROBBO Scratch project

Trip time	Sketch	Power supply	ROBBO Scratch	Trip time	Arduino IDE
Algorithm 1. The robot uses ONE numerical value of the line sensor — the AVERAGE between two extreme values, obtained when the sensor is positioned above the white area and above the black line. If the sensor shows a value greater than the average, then the robot turns to the left during 0.1 second and goes forward during 0.1 second. If the sensor shows a value less than the average, then the robot turns to the right during 0.1 second and goes forward during 0.1 second. The trajectory the robot follows is a zigzag.

13 seconds	The high speed causes numerous errors. At a high speed, the robot cuts off the corners in half the cases.	Battery 7.4V	ROBBO Scratch Video Download the sketch	11 seconds	Arduino IDE Video Download the sketch
Algorithm 2 The robot uses SEVEN (FIVE, in case of USB) numerical values of the line sensor — these are values between two extreme values, obtained when the sensor is positioned above the white area and above the black line. The readings of the sensor are as follows: » 0 means the position above the white area. Both motors are on and in full swing (255), the left-hand motor is rotating forward, the right-hand motor is rotating backward. The robot turns in place during 0.1 second. » 1 means the position above the white area, closer to the black line. The left-hand motor is on and in full swing (255), rotating forward, while the right-hand motor is стоит. The robot turns on the fly during 0.1 second. » 2 means the position at the border of the white and black areas, even more closer to the black line. The left-hand motor is on and in full swing (255), rotating forward, while the right-hand motor is at its half (120), rotating forward, too. The robot goes ahead and turns a bit, on the fly, during 0.1 second. » 3 means the position at the border of the white and black areas, already above the black line. The left-hand and the right-hand motors are on and in full swing (255), both rotating forward. The robot goes ahead during 0.1 second. » Остальные значения (4, 5, and 6) являются зеркальными по отношению к 0, 1, and 2. The trajectory the robot follows is a smooth curve with long tangent sections, so the robot can travel without slowing down all along. </center>
25–26 seconds	ROBBO Scratch хуже, чем ArduiniIDE обрабатывает время движения, поэтому количество диапазонов мы сократили до 5 и упростили движение моторов. Они все время двигаются вперед с разной мощностью	USB	Download the sketch	18 seconds	Arduino IDE Video Download the sketch
12 seconds	At a high speed, the robot проскакивает поворот in 4 of 5 cases.	Battery 7.4 V	It is important to modify the sketch coded for USB, because at a high speed, the in-between values of the sensor cannot be handled. Объединяем все промежуточные значения Download the sketch	9.5 seconds	It is important to immediately modify the sketch, coded for a 5V power supply (USB). Заменить время движения робота в поворотах со 100 до 10 milliseconds. А время движения прямо увеличить до 200 milliseconds. It is necessary because at a high speed, the robot rushes too fast along the path section, where the values of the sensors are changing
Algorithm 3 The robot uses EIGHT numerical values of the line sensor — these are values between two extreme values, obtained when the sensor is positioned above the white area and above the black line. The trajectory the robot follows is a line with long straight sections, and the robot can travel without slowing down all along.

Описание проезда по чёрной линии с ДВУМЯ датчиками

Сложную трассу с перекрестками, ответвлениями, "зебрами" и инверсными участками с одним датчиком проехать невозможно. При подключении двух датчиков требуется использовани специальных алгоритмов, которые автоматизируют движение робота.

Algorithm 4. - Релейный регулятор Задача этого алгоритма - удерживать робота в положении "Оба датчика робота находятся над белой линией", т.е. слева и справа от чёрной линии. Если оба датчика попадают на черную линию, the robot останавливается

Algorithm 5 Пропорциональный регулятор Пропорциональный̆ регулятор is a device that оказывающее управляющее воздействие на объект пропорционально его отклонению от заданного состояния. Принцип действия П-регулятора основывается на том, что мы находим значение отклонения от заданного состояния, которое назовем error и обозначим буквой E. Ошибка – это разница между показаниями датчиков линии: E = S1 – S2. To obtain the value of controlling action U, we multiply this value by a chosen ratio kp: U = kp⋅E. U is the momentum that we have to add to one motor and extract from other motor. Thus, the robot will control its position itself — that is, for turning or taxing to the required direction.
