This one's pretty easy. Two IR detector/emitter pairs along the bottom,
midline of the robot (say, about 1cm or less off the floor). The algorithm
is to keep both detectors over the black tape (i.e. a low reflectance
reading); if the right one detects the floor, turn left, and vice versa.

| Hey all, I'm looking for some ideas on sensors and algorithms for a line following robot (black tape on white floor). If any of you have had some luck at this or know where I can find some info please let me know. Thanks Rajesh (27 years ago, 15-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
