CE 3.1 Project Information
Name of the project: Light detecting robot
Location of the project: Gombak, Malaysia
Project Duration: 2months
Organization: Islamic University Malaysia
Role and Designation during the time: Team Leader
CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The project is based on assembling a robot with 4 tires for detecting lights as well as
moves towards it. The sensor as well as control system is a part of proposed robot platform. It
is used to provide flexible as well as modular system to control movement of robot, retrieve
the sensor data related to surroundings plus prevention of collisions. The sensor system is
used to work in parallel with vision system so that it can provide information for taking
decisions. I used open source Arduino platform for controlling and contributing to make
usage of the sensors easier. I used code for reading filter sensor values such as red, green, and
blue as well as calculation of lux plus colour temperature. I focused on testing as well as
confirming output from sensor for determining sense range and sample frequency which can
negotiate between accuracy as well as breaking distance.
CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
While executing the project related to light detecting robot, I achieved accuracy of the
robot and designing different technologies as well as tools. In order to complete the work on
time, following are list of the project objectives such as:

 To produce robot platform
 To design as well as build sensor system allowed the robot to navigate around
surroundings
 To design and implement light detecting robot using two LDR sensors
 To identify type of light sensor suitable to track the robot
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
I used a controller Ardunio which has consisted number of digital inputs, digital
outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs. I performed programming by means of coding
(similar to C language). I used two LDR sensors on right as well as left of robot for
comparing intensity of lights between the analog sensors. I used two ultrasonic sensors for
detecting obstacle (analog sensors) which will measure distance. I used two of the motors for
back tires for driving the robot. I used my leadership skills as well as problem solving skills
to complete the project work with help of the team members.
