Abstract: A line-following robot for indoor sports marking is an automated system designed to precisely draw boundary and guide lines on indoor courts such as badminton, basketball, or volleyball fields. The robot uses sensors like infrared or optical detectors to follow a predefined path or guide line with high accuracy. It is equipped with a marking mechanism, such as a paint dispenser or chalk system, to create consistent and uniform lines. The system reduces manual effort and minimizes human errors in court marking. It can be programmed to follow different court layouts, making it versatile for multiple sports. The robot ensures uniform thickness and straightness of lines, improving the quality of markings. It operates efficiently in indoor environments where lighting and surface conditions are controlled. The use of automation also saves time and labor costs for sports facility management. Additionally, the robot can be designed with obstacle detection to ensure safe operation. Overall, this technology enhances precision, efficiency, and reliability in indoor sports field preparation
