Guide towards the assignment
'A-MAZE-ING PICO'

Gostai-Jazz-500x500.jpg

Introduction

This course is about software design and how to apply this in the context of autonomous robots. The accompanying assignment is about applying this knowledge to a real-life robotics task.

Course Schedule and Lecture Slides

Lectures will be given on Wednesdays from 8.45 - 10.30 in Gem-Z 3A-12. The course schedule is as follows:

April 22 Introduction
April 29 Composition pattern part I by Herman Bruyninckx Tooling and Infrastructure by Sjoerd van den Dries
May 6 First presentation of the design by groups: 6-minute presentation about the group's design in the context of the task-skill-motion system architecture and the composition pattern.
May 13 Corridor competition
May 20 Composition Pattern part II by Herman Bruyninckx
May 27 Second presentation of the design by groups
June 3 Communication patterns
June 10 Presentation of final design by groups
June 17 Final competition


Assignment

Design and implement a robotic software system that will let robots Pico/Taco solve a maze in the robotics lab. The maze can contain doors that automatically open and close.

Getting Started

To get started, please do the tutorials on the Tutorial Page. Please note:

  • Do all tutorials, and all steps. Missing one step may cause a different behavior or incorrect working system later. If something is not working as expected, make sure you correctly did all previous steps.
  • Of course, things may still go wrong. If so, do not hesitate to contact us.
  • See Using Pico for a quick overview of how to use Pico.

FAQ

Here you can find a collection of Frequently Asked Questions. Please check this page before contacting the student assistants or the tutors! If you find any issues or questions you had to deal with, please add them as well so your colleagues don't run into the same problems.
