Development of the Automatic Line Maker Bobot by the Laser Telemeter

Line marking take an important role in the official game of sports. In addition, high skill is necessary for processing a line having a long distance. In this paper, We have developed an automatic line marker robot that draws constant and high quality lines. Then, the developed robot can make a straight line and a circle. By recognizing landmarks, this robot can revise the way it is going. The developed robot is attached one motor for steering, two motors for throttle, the manual-type line marker made by molten Corporation, and sensors such as encoders for motors and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Then, we have shown experimental results that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
