Abstract :In this study, bi-color path following robot control algorithm teaching is presented. Mostly, autonomous robots follow a path on black colored surfaces having white line or vice versa. Courses having different line colors are rarely used because of its difficulty in its implementation. Several algorithms or hardware designs are developed for the autonomous solution of path following robot problem. Two electrical engineering students are taught about robot control algorithm development through inquiry teaching approach. A novel algorithm is developed after this process. This paper investigates the efficient and simple path following robot control algorithm development over two colored lines on same course simultaneously.
