Introduction
[edit | edit source]In this lab, we will be using learning techniques and sensors to enable our robot to navigate a maze. The best robots will have two modes: An exploration mode where the robot explores the maze and creates an internal map of it, and a map-solving mode where the robot uses it's maps to navigate the maze quickly and efficiently.
In order to perform this task, the student must:
- Have good, reliable routines for traveling a fixed distance and turning 90° to the left and right. Turns and measurements should be precise.
- Have good, reliable routines for operating the ultrasonic sensor, including routines to turn the sensor 90°, and converting sensor readings into reliable distance measurements. This may require the student to take temperature measurements and make calculations concerning the speed of sound.
- Be proficient in the use of loops, branches, subroutines, and arrays.
