Design

Requirements

1. Autonomously exit the room within 5 minutes in two trials.
2. Must not bump into the wall.
3. Must not tip over.
4. Make sensible movements/progress each 30 seconds.
5. Software must be easy to set up.
6. Robot must function robustly.

Specifications

• Rear wheel must be over the finish line.
• Distance between the wall and the robot must be 0,05 meter.
• The maximum translational speed is 0,5 meter per second, the maximum rotational speed is 1.2 radians per second.
• The robot must have a maximum speed/stop before changing direction.
• The maximum inclination angle is around 5 degrees.
• The software must have 1 command to update, compile (cmake/make) and start executing.
• The status must be reported at least each 30 seconds.
• The functions must be scalable.
• Switch states only to advance the strategy plan.

Functions

• Detect if the robot is over the finish line
• Drive forward (keeping the speed specifications in mind)
• Rotate
• Collision detection
• (Update World Model)
• Print status
• Scan environment for exit
• State function/ Life Cycle State Machine (LCSM)
• Wall hugging
