Project Goals
To successfully complete the project, we've
divided the work up into several milestones, each successively
harder than the previous. Also listed are future goals;
enhancements that could be added in future projects.
| Goals |
| 1 |
Create a robot that moves and that we
can control. |
| 2 |
Add sensors to the robot so that it can
detect a beacon. |
| 3 |
Create an autonomous mode (with fuzzy
logic) for the robot, so that it will move toward the
beacon. |
| 4 |
Add sensors to the robot so that it can
detect when it reached the beacon. |
| 5 |
Add an alarm to the robot so that it
will alert once it has reached the beacon. |
|
| Possible Goals |
| 6 |
Add software for negotiating obstacles. |
|
| |
| Future Goals (6+ months) |
| A |
Allow for multiple beacons, and the
robot must move towards one only, based on a distinct
signature of the beacon (i.e. different intensity). |
| B |
Allow for multiple beacons, and the robot
will locate each of them in a predetermined order. (This
would be useful if you had multiple robots, so each robot
could work on one beacon in parallel, and then help the
others after it's located its first beacon.) |
| C |
Tracking its own movement, and
returning a path to the beacon once it has found it. |
| D |
Actually retrieve the beacon when it
reaches it. |
| E |
Return to "home-base" after it
has accomplished its goals. |
