Embedded Motion Control 2015 Group 1
Embedded Motion Control (EMC) Group 1 is a multidisciplinar and multilangual project group working on the 'A-MAZE-ING PICO'.
Practical
In this chapter the group members will be presented, whereafter the progress diary will be show. This includes meetings and weekly updates in chronological order.

Diary
The proces of developing a software architecuter and the implementation requires great coordination and collaboration. This journal will be updated to track the progress of the group. This includes overall progress, countered problems and divided tasks and possible argumentation.

Important Things
If Qt Creator is not run from the terminal, the programs inside cannot connect to the ROS master. To be able to run Qt Creator from the desktop without any problems, follow a similar procedure to the one that is used in the Customizing Ubuntu tutorial for the Terminator file:
Edit
~/.local/share/applications/QtProject-qtcreator.desktop
and change the third line to:
Exec=bash -i -c /home/rinus/qtcreator-3.3.2/bin/qtcreator
This will run QtCreator from a terminal even if the desktop icon is used.
Design Architecture
The design architecture is based on the 5 C's decomposition and is best shown using a representative figure.
Potential Field
Report-like explanation of the potential field: the working principle, the underlying mathematics and, the implementation.
Lower Level Skills
Explanation of the decision making algorithm and the low level skills used to drive the robot.
Corridor Challenge
Preparation of the Embedded Motion Control #Corridor Competition and the results shown in a short movie.
