Penn State - CSE 430W - Fall 2007 - Autonomous Robot

This robot is completely autonomous. Its goal is to escape the maze (it may start in any position and orientation). After escaping the maze it must pick up 3 blocks. Once the blocks have been collected it must return to the cell designated as the repository.

Components
68HCS12 Microcontroller
8 Sharp IR Distance Sensors
Infrared Break Beam Sensor
Hamamatsu Wheel Encoders
Parallax Motors
Line Following Sensor

Great Job. That was an interesting method of picking up the cubes. Did you use magnetism to do that? Also, couldn't the robot accomplish the same task without the grid of white lines?

Yes, there are magnets attached to the wheel that collects the blocks. It could accomplish the same task without gridlines, but following gridlines is easier and more accurate than using wheel encoders or some other method to go straight for long distances.

why is it so slow

What coordinate system do you use to map the position of the bot? Asking because that's my next project. Nice robot btw :) 5/5

Nice work. A bit on the brute force side but nonetheless successful.

Wow! Amazing!! How can someone work such wonder!! Keep it up!!! The group members must be the best in the game.
