Initial Design

Requirements:

- PICO should make no collisions with any walls

- PICO cannot stand still for 30 seconds or longer

- For the escape room challenge, the robot should leave the room within 5 minutes

- For the hospital challenge, within 5 minutes, mapping, reverse parking and obtaining the object should be done

- Its surroundings should be made visible in a map

- PICO should be able to reach every position in the room

- PICO should be able to leave every room

- PICO should make distinction between the hall and rooms

- It should run autonomously, so in each challenge there should be no additional input

- To start your software, only one executable has to be called

- PICO should be able to recognize an object and stand still close to it

Functions:

- PICO should be able to drive in any direction

- PICO should be able to turn around

- It should be able to detect walls

- PICO has to know its own position within the mapped map

- PICO is able to construct a map

- It should be possible to create a trajectory to a room

- PICO should be able to recognize an object

Components:

- Sensors:

  o Laser Range Finder (LRF)
  o Wheel encoders (odometry)

- Actuator:

  o Holonomic base (omni-wheels)

- Computer:

  o Intel i7
  o Ubuntu 16.04

Specifications:

- Translation maximum: 0.5 m/s

- Rotation maximum: 1.2 rad/s

- Range of Laser Range Finder is assumed to be bigger than maximum room dimension

- The field of view of the Laser Range Finder is from -2 rad to 2 rad, divided in pieces of 0.004004

- The Laser Range Finder can only measure at one height
