Introduction
The main challenge is to design, structure and implement, later execute, a working programm for a mobile robot that takes a starting sequence as an input to serve tables in a restaurant according to that sequence of tables to serve.
In order to do that, the course provided us, beside lectures, with exercises to get properly introduced to the robot simulation environment, the robot itself, as well as programming in general in C++. After a first introduction to the course, we started with a 'Don't crash' exercise to have a proper tool in hand for the robot to safely move around an environment. The next was the 'A*-algorithm' to plan and find a specific goal in a given grid. An introduction to an 'Open Space Approach' exercise We then finished with the 'Localizaion' exercise to let the robot know where it is in a given environment.
The main objective is to deliver orders to a specific table in a restaurant environment. For this, it needs to get the table sequence, then plan the path to the required table, drive to the table, avoid any obstacles within driving and then deliver the the order by driving near the table, facing it and giving a sound signal. This process is then repeated.
