This is my first entry for the blog! On this blog I’ll be talking about the different purposed exercises on the JdeRobot platform. The first one is the line follower explained after this brief intro.

In this post I’ll talk about the method to process the captured images from the car so it becomes easier to extract information from them.

This post will explain the first design of a PID controller for the line follower to make it able to do a first complete lap. PIDs are a control method based on a fast loop with feedback from some kind of sensors. In this case, the sensor is the camera and the desired control variable is the steering speed.

This post will explain some considerations to make on choosing the measured variables and some methods to achieve a better and more robust control.

This post explain the last tricks to get a fast and robust controller. To the infinity and beyond!
