Industrial Object Counter Kit: Build a Line‑Following Robot with Arduino Uno & IR Sensors

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Step into the world of industrial automation with a hands‑on project that simulates how factories count objects on a conveyor line. You’ll assemble a two‑wheel‑drive robot that uses IR sensors to detect a black path – just like sensors in real counting systems identify passing items. This kit turns abstract ideas of threshold‑based sensing into a working robot you can race along any dark tape track.

What You'll Build

A fully functional line‑following robot that stays centred on a black track, automatically correcting its path using real‑time sensor feedback. As it moves, the robot demonstrates how an industrial counter tallies objects by detecting state changes – an essential principle in manufacturing and packaging lines.

What You'll Learn

• Calibrate IR sensors and set threshold values to distinguish black from white surfaces
• Program motor control logic using an L298N driver to steer and correct a 2WD chassis
• Integrate sensors, motors, and power management into a stable robotic system
• Debug real‑world sensor noise and hysteresis for reliable line following

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Designed for absolute beginners in electronics and robotics, including CBSE students (Class 5‑9), ATL Tinkering Lab members, and first‑time makers at home. If your child is curious about how automated machines work – or you’re an educator running a tinkering camp – this kit delivers a successful first build without frustration.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
