Structure
The first draft of the structure of nodes and topics is shown below.
The integer 'situation' and 'action' have certain values corresponding to different cases. These cases are defined as shown below.
| Situation | |
| 1 | Detected corridor |
| 2 | Detected dead-end |
| 3 | Detected corner right |
| 4 | Detected corner left |
| 5 | Detected T-crossing (right-left) |
| 6 | Detected T-crossing (right-straight) |
| 7 | Detected T-crossing (left-straight) |
| 8 | Detected crossing |
| 9 | Unidentified situation |
.
| action | |
| 1 | Stop |
| 2 | Straight |
| 3 | Right |
| 4 | Left |
| 5 | Turn around |
| 6 | Follow left wall |
| 7 | Follow right wall |

Decision node
The decision node is designed to act like a navigation tool. It tells the drive node where to go. The decision node does this by detecting which situation we are approaching (like corner left/right or T-crossing), taking into acount the information of the arrow node and previous turns and then tells the drive node where to go.
Situation determination
In order to determine which situation we are approaching, we want to know 3 things: is there a corner to the left, is there a corner to the right and can we go straight ahead?
We determine these 3 things by using the laser data. Unfortunately we will not always detect the corners and dead end at the same time, so when we detect one of these 3 we will drive to a fixed distance from the situation. In this time we drive we will determine if we also find the other two charateristics of the situation. Using the information we have we can determine the situation and publish it on the topic.
Action determination
When we have published a situation, then the drive node makes sure we drive to the center of the situation. If we are in the center, we will determine if there are deadends in any turns, look if there are any arrows and then make a decision which way to go.
