Summary of activities arranged by week
Week 1
- Some brainstorming was done to come up with an idea for this project. Swarm behavior for robots has gotten the attention and a goal is set, this goal of the project is explained above.
- Also a start of the litarature study is made, in order to check what technology is already available and how this is adaptable for our final scenario.
Week 2
- In the second week a presentation was given regarding our current goal and findings of the past week.
- Also the USE principles regarding our project were examinated.
- The litarature study was also expended during this week in the progress.
Week 3
- Because of the feedback regarding our last presentation more litarature study has been done.
- Furthermore, from this literature study, an early idea for a solution is conceived.
- A list of needed materials is composed (see freeduino based robots).
- The final scenario is further specified.
- The actual real-world scenario is described.
- Also the link between the USE principles and the configuration of the Freeduino based robots has been made.
Week 4
- A planning with specific tasks per student is made, see planning group 1
- A log will be kept so progress can be monitored.
- Lego Mindstorms Robots will be used instead of the freeduino based robots.
- A first (toplevel) simulation is written: toplevel simulation
Week 5
- This week the new Robots with the NXT Bricks are obtained and built.
- Software for programming is downloaded, see Software NXT Robots.
- A start with the search algorithm for the pathing of the robots has been made.
- Programming of the communication and behaviour of the NXT Robots has been started.
Week 6
- Programming has been done, in cooperation with some useful forum links for programming
Week 7
- Second week of the Christmas Holiday.
Week 8
- Programming for the pathing, localisation and communication of the NXT Robots for the final scenario is done. This can be seen in the Robot Control Software page.
- The simulation is worked on
Week 9
- The final representation is given at monday 11-01-16
- The robot control software for the demo of the final scenario is improved and finished
- Lots of simulations have been running in order to statistically make conclusions
- The wiki has been updated and cleaned up
