Localisation

The localisation of the robots is a very important part of the project. With localisation, the robot is able to keep track of its own position and direction. This is of high importance when a robot encounters a heavy object, because now it can find out which robot is the nearest to him and ask this specific robot for help. Besides the localisation, also a bluetooth-communication script is necessary to accomplish this. The way this communication is drafted and scripted is written in Bluetooth Communication.

Programming the Localisation

To begin, first the following information should be a given for the robot:

• Its beginposition (x- and y-coordinate)
• Its begindirection (angle of its direction with respect to the x-axis)
