Initial Design

Requirements

In order to achieve the goal, the following requirements have to be met:

• The robot has to drive through any maze complying with specifications
• It has to escape the maze within the time limit
• Collisions with the walls must be avoided
• Doors must be opened
• Doors must be recognized in order to achieve the previous requirement
• The software has to be robust for imperfections in the measurement data and disturbances
• The robot must not be idle for a long period of time
• The robot must not ring the bell too often
• The robot must autonomously solve and navigate through the maze
• The Software must be started with only one executable

Specifications

The goal and the requirements will be achieved with the following specifications:

Robot

• The maximum transnational speed of the robot is 0.5 m/s
• The maximum rotational speed equals 1.2 rad/s
• The corridor challenge has to be solved in 5 minutes
• The maze challenge has to be solved in 7 minutes
• Both challenges have a maximum of two trials
• The laser range finder (LRF) has a range of 270 degrees
• The wheel encoders have a accuracy of ...
• The robot must not be idle for more than 30 seconds

Maze

• The corners will be approximately 90 degrees
• The wall distance is 0.5-1.5 meter
• There is only 1 door in the maze
• The door starts opening in 2 seconds
• The door opens if the robot is within 1.3 meter of the door
• The door is open in 5 seconds
• The number of rings must not be larger than the number of potential doors
• The maze may contain loops
• The maze can contain dead ends
