Localisation

The localisation of the robots is a very important part of the project. With localisation, the robot is able to keep track of its own position and direction. This is of high importance when a robot encounters a heavy object, because now it can find out which robot is the nearest to him and ask this specific robot for help. Besides the localisation, also a bluetooth-communication script is necessary to accomplish this. The way this communication is drafted and scripted is written in Bluetooth Communication.

Programming the Localisation

To begin, the following information should be a given for the robot:

• Its beginposition (x- and y-coordinate)
• Its begindirection (angle of its direction with respect to the x-axis)
