In this period, there are increasing needs for automation and Industry 4.0. Automation is necessary for every machine since it helps to boost productivity and efficiency. A stretcher that is mechanised is created with these demands in mind. The machine or device in the manufacturing sector finds its way to move from one location to another. The autonomous guided vehicle has the ability to stick to a predetermined path. The use of automation improves and maintains quality while reducing human mistake in handling and increasing job efficiency, all of which contribute to economic growth. An automated stretcher that responds to commands has been created. Multispecialty hospitals with huge buildings can benefit from this use. The name of this machine is "Line Follower Stretcher." Using Ir sensors, the proposed system detects the dark path and moves in that direction on the ground. This technique reduces the need for labour while also making work easier. According to the specifications, a black line is traced through the hospital, and the stretcher recognises the lines and travels there on its own. The line-following robot is powered by an Arduino-based system. If there is a problem, a buzzer sounds to signal the moving impediment to move out of the way.
