I am new in this site, and like you can see I want to do a line follower, not a clumsy and slow line follower, but a fast and "fancy". I investigated about the PID method, but can someone explain me in simple words what is it. Thanks for your answers.

1Have you already chosen/built the robot? what kind of hardware do you want to use? BTW, I suspect that PID will only be useful if you have a continuous/fluid way to sense the line and not just 3 infrared sensors like many basic line follow bots have.– BrettFolkinsCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 0:49

The chasis... I have not make it yet, and i have 8 sensors in an array.– Ionel PopCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 0:57

This might be a good tutorial for you to look at: letsmakerobots.com/node/39972– KolbanCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 1:17

Did you check wikipedia, for example?
I doubt it is possible to describe a PID controller in simpler words than those used by the article.
The pseudocode is quite simple and should be also very good for understanding the concept, when applied to a digital system.
See also the limitations of PID controllers.
