The CoroBot simulation entity from Chapter 6 is used in a simulation scenario that mimics the Seattle Robotics Society's Robo-Magellan competition. Before the competition begins, a referee places cones on the course and then provides GPS coordinates to the contestants for locations of the cones. Robots start at a pre-determined point and navigate to each cone avoiding obstacles along the way. The problems that the robots face are navigating over outdoor terrain, avoiding obstacles, and dealing with GPS signal problems.
This chapter contains two projects:
The screenshots below show the CoroBot robot ready to start on the course. Notice the orange cone in the background. The second window is the Referee. You can just see one of the cones over the top of a wall. The robot has to navigate around obstacles like walls. Click on the images to view larger versions.
