In recent years, vehicles equipped with automatic driving functions and unmanned transport robots have become popular. Along with this, running stability and speeding up of the running of the robot are required. In general, when guiding a robot, it is common to follow a line for guiding the robot, such as a white line, using an optical sensor such as an infrared phototransistor. When using an optical sensor, the distance from the line must be short, so if there is a step, the line may be lost. This time, we have created a high-speed line following robot that uses a camera to keep a distance between the line.
