This study presents a real‐time line tracking application based on web robot vision. The application is implemented with the help of Web‐SUN robot platform specially designed for research and development. Real‐time images were processed with the support libraries. The processes such as monitoring, tele‐control, parameter adjustment, and remote‐reprogramming were implemented on the designed platform through standard Internet browser without any additional software. A projection‐based line tracking algorithm and conventional PID control algorithm are used in study. Line tracking experiments are performed on a test track drawn by red tape on floor which includes curves and corners in laboratory environment. In this study, our real‐time line tracking experiments was completed smoothly in 10 tours on the test track with a maximum deviation of 12 cm. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
