Requirements and function specifications
Problem statement
The software design process starts with a statement of the problem. Although all the details of the assignment are not yet knwon at this point, we can best summarize the statement with the following sentence:
- Design the software in C/C++ for the (existing) Pico/Jazz robot that enables to find the exit of an unknown and dynamically changing maze in minimal time.
Requirements
A (draft) list of the requirements contains the following points:
- Exiting the maze in minimal time.
- Avoiding damage of the robot and the environment.
- Robustness of pathfinding algorithm with respect to maze layout.
- Design software using modular approach.
- Implement algorithm using only available hardware and software API's.
- Manage code development with multiple developers.
Existing hardware interfaces
- The Pico/Jazz robot with customized inner workings and a robot operating system with C++ API's.
- A (still unknown) wheelbase layout of which the possible DoF/turning radius is a design constraint.
- A lasersensor and acoustic sensor of which the range-of-visibility is a design constraint.
