Weather of Arabia - In a world full of technology and robots, the sunflower robot that follows the sun stands out from the rest of the innovations. It is not just an intelligent device that responds to commands, but rather it is a simulator of the magic of nature, carrying within it the magic of the sunflower. In this article, we will take an exciting journey into the world of electronics, where art and technology live together.

Sunflower robot

Although this robot may not fully qualify as a “real robot,” it does provide a great simulation of a real sunflower; Its simplicity makes it largely uncomplicated, as it is enough to have it available

This project can be interesting in school settings, stimulating children's scientific and curiosity, without being complicated to implement.

The robot includes a pair of light sensors, this way, you can determine which sensor receives the most light and thus follows the sun, clearly showing that these are not just on/off sensors, they are light dependent resistors, providing an accurate analog reading .

Of course, this can be achieved without using an Arduino. The 555 that drives the boost motor, along with a simple set of discrete components, can measure a bridge using photoresistors and achieve the same effect. On the other hand, a microcontroller these days is inexpensive and versatile, so why not take advantage of it?

Sun-tracking devices usually strive for more energy, however, it appears that things do not need to be too complicated with this advanced robot.
