This wiki describes and explains the software that was made for and implemented on the PICO robot to complete the retake of Embedded Motion Control course 2017-2018. The mission of the retake EMC 2018 is describe in the subsection ‘The challenge ‘Follow me!’’.

The robot that is used during the project is PICO. PICO has a holonomic wheelbase with which it can drive, a Laser Range Finder (LRF) from which it can gather information about the environment (blocked/free space) and wheels that are equipped with encoders to provide odometry data. All software that is developed has to be tested on the robot. There is also a simulator available which provides an exact copy of PICO’s functionalities. PICO itself has an on-board computer running Ubuntu 16.04. The programming language that is used during the course and the retake is C++ and Gitlab is used to store the cod
