Hi, There is no easy way to tell your robot where to go! use this module:

Fig 1. 4 channel IR sensor

This is the simplest test that will get you started on this board.

Here is the fritzing schematic for your reference:

Here is the code:

And here is my lab:

The 4-Channel Line Tracker sensor implements an easy way for line tracking. A line sensor is made of a number of cells and each cell is composed of a sender and a receiver.

The particularity of this sender/receiver pair is that it sends light that shall be reflected by the line to be detected but not by the eventually opaque background surrounding this line.

Any sender/receiver pair that is able to make a difference between a line and the rest of the ground (of a different color) can be used in a line sensor.

And that’s all.
