'''Hospital Competition'''
1. Initially, PICO should make a 360� turn once to gather information on the surrounding environment.
2. It should start following the wall along the corridor, until a new door is found.
3. Then, it should enter the room through the new identified door, and start following the walls of the
room. While following the walls of the room, it should identify all the corners of the room from the
data gathered, and then exit the room. Also, while performing this task it is possible that a new door
is detected inside the room, then it should enter that room and follow the same protocol as mentioned
before.
4. Once PICO is in the corridor again, it should start searching for new doors, and explore each of the
room similarly as mentioned above.
5. While performing these tasks, PICO simultaneously needs to create a map of the whole hospital. Once
the whole hospital is mapped, it should park backwards to the wall behind the starting position.
6. After that depending on the hint given, PICO should find the object in the hospital and stop moving
close to it.

Initial Design

Goal

The main goal of the project is to enable PICO to autonomously map a given room and subsequently determine and execute a trajectory to leave this room. For the initial Escape Room Competition, the predefined task is completed once the finish line at the end of the corridor is crossed. For the Hospital Room Competition, the goal is to map all rooms situated in the complex, after which the robot returns to a given position from where it must be able to identify a placed object in order to position itself next to it. However, both competitions include several constraints:

  • The robot must complete the task without bumping into any walls.
  • The individual tasks must be completed within five minutes.
  • The robot should not stand still for more than 30 seconds during the execution of each of the tasks.

Plan

In order to achieve the specified goal, an elaborate plan has been devised for each of the tasks that PICO needs to accomplish, which is specified below:


Escape Room Competition

1. Initially, PICO should make a 360° turn once to gather information about the surrounding environment.

2. It should act accordingly depending upon the initial data that is gathered. The following three scenarios are possible:

  • A wall is detected, then it should go to the nearest wall and start following it.
  • A door is detected, then it should go to the door, cross the finish line and stop.
  • Nothing is found, then it should move forward until it detects either a wall or a door.

3. While following a wall, the following two scenarios are possible:

  • Another wall is detected, then it should start following the next wall.
  • A door is found, then it should go through the door and cross the finish line.


Hospital Competition 1. Initially, PICO should make a 360� turn once to gather information on the surrounding environment.

2. It should start following the wall along the corridor, until a new door is found.

3. Then, it should enter the room through the new identified door, and start following the walls of the room. While following the walls of the room, it should identify all the corners of the room from the data gathered, and then exit the room. Also, while performing this task it is possible that a new door is detected inside the room, then it should enter that room and follow the same protocol as mentioned before.

4. Once PICO is in the corridor again, it should start searching for new doors, and explore each of the room similarly as mentioned above.

5. While performing these tasks, PICO simultaneously needs to create a map of the whole hospital. Once the whole hospital is mapped, it should park backwards to the wall behind the starting position.

6. After that depending on the hint given, PICO should find the object in the hospital and stop moving close to it.
