Building My First Line Follower Robot
How I wired IR sensors, tuned threshold values, and got my first autonomous robot moving in under a weekend.
Coming SoonBuilding autonomous robots and embedded systems — turning circuits and code into machines that think, move, and react.
IEEE SCT SB ComSoc Secretary · ISTE SCTCE Vice Chair · IEEE RAS & CASS · I build things that move.
I'm Ajmal M S, a B.Tech Electronics & Communication Engineering student at SCT College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram, simultaneously pursuing a BS in Data Science & Programming from IIT Madras. My core passion is robotics — designing, wiring, and programming autonomous systems that solve real-world problems using sensors, motors, and microcontrollers.
My strength lies in bridging hardware and software: writing clean embedded C/C++ for Arduino, understanding motor control and sensor feedback loops. Beyond the lab, I serve as Secretary of IEEE SCT SB ComSoc and Vice Chair of ISTE SCTCE EXIS. I also hold memberships in IEEE RAS and IEEE CASS, and completed a professional Robotics Internship at AI Robotics.
