Introduction
In the course Embedded Motion Control (EMC) the software design of an autonomous robot is given as an objective. The implementation of the software skills to fulfill real-life robotic tasks in real-time situations, takes into account both planning and basic programming. For this assignment, two challenges are given.
The first challenge is the Escape Room Challenge, in which the robot is placed in a room with a single exit with a random orientation. Upon placement, the robot should autonomously find the exit, move towards the exit and exit the room without touching the surroundings. The second challenge is the Hospital Challenge, in which the robot should autonomously function within a hospital, based on a specific map. The goal for the robot is to go from cabinet to cabinet, while on the way encountering random disturbances as deemed normal in a hospital.
This wiki page will give an overview of the designs for both the Escape Room and Hospital challenges.
Escape Room Challenge
Design Document
For the Escape Room Challenge a design document has been made. Hererin, the requirements, specifications, components, interfaces and functions can be found within. The file can be found here.File:Design document.pdf
Escape Room Execution
Wall Following
Since the most robust solution is to follow a wall, this is chosen to be implemented first. The decision has been made to make the robot always keep the wall on its left side. Good results are achieved in the 2 random maps that are shown below.
Scanning for an exit
Next, the robot is made a bit 'smarter'; It will first scan the room for an exit. If an exit is found, it will stop rotating, rotate a bit back, to make sure it will head for the left wall, start heading for the exit, and then continue with the wall following procedure to exit the corridor. The result for this can be seen below.
Escape Room Result
Hospital Challenge
Hospital Challenge Brainstorm Session
To prepare for the hospital session, a brainstorm session is done and several new requirements, specifications, functions and components are thought of.
The following diagram is the result of this brainstorm session.
