Planning

General	Weekly meetings with group on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At least a weekly update of the wiki. Tasks are divided weekly.
Week 3 (7 may)	Write code to create a 2D map from the laser data. Write code for position control. Read chapter 9 from the book.
Week 4 (14 may)	Write code for the navigation for the corridor competition. Make sure the Jazz does not bump in to walls.
Week 5 (21 may)	Write code for the navigation for the corridor competition. Make sure the Jazz recognizes exits. Prepare the lecture.
Week 6 (28 may)	Give the lecture. Finish and test the navigation for the corridor competition. Make sure Jazz takes the first exit.
Week 7 (4 jun)	Corridor competition. Write code for image recognition. Make sure arrows and their pointing direction are recognized. Discuss and choose a strategy for solving the maze. Start implementing the strategy into the navigation code.
Week 8 (11 jun)	Continue implementing the strategy into the navigation code.
Week 9 (18 jun)	Finish implementing the strategy into the navigation code.
Week 10/11 (25 jun / 2 jul)	Final competition.

Program structure

The scheme above shows the first proposal of the components of which the final program will consist. A more detailed overview will be published in the coming days or week(s). The components in grey are considered to be not very important in order to succesfully complete the corridor competition. However, these components are necessary for a succesful completion of the final competition.

Jazz's Blog

In this section I will publish all kinds of information on the things I am currently learning, I have learned so far and my further ambitions.

8th of May 2012 - Learning how to make a map

Today, I have been busy with learning how I can produce a 2D map of the data I receive from all my sensors. I hope to succeed in making a map before the end of this week. Besides, I will try to succeed in driving a predefined distance or angle. This should eventually help me following the instructions of my navigation program.

I hope to have more exciting news soon...
