obstacle avoidance

making an arduino line follower with obstacle avoidance

I have had an arduino for a wile now but i just cannot find out how to make a robot with line following and obstacle avoidance.

How can I write a sketch that will alow one sensor to have more power over another sensor? So if my robot is moving along a line and i put something infrunt of it it will sotp useing the line sensors and use the code for the obstacle avoidance.

Multi-sensor obstacle avoidance

Hi,

I want to take my Bliss Robot to the next level of "object avoidance". Please note that I just want the "next level", not the "ultimate level" (yet) ;-)

I got some advice from ignoblegome but I would like to openly ask which would that "next level" may be. I have seen several things out there:

Explores the environment to find objects and classifies rooms.

Start me notI decided to do this Tamiya tankbot as a blog as there's been a few similar posts lately and It is probably one of the most common platforms about the net so I will see if I can do something different with it. But for starters I have built it like a start here robot although I will not call it that.
At the moment it is controlled by a pic16F690 but I intend to build different configurations using other micros as well.

What is it?

This is a quick mockup used to test the IR obstacle detection circuit which came out of this forum topic:

It uses this circuit:
