Navigation competition
This project is about navigating a terrestrial robot from a starting position on a two-dimensional plane to a goal position. The goal position is a colored surface that the robot has to reach (stop on top of it). There are several obstacles in the environment that the robot has top avoid. Sample environment will be provided for testing purposes, although the final position of the obstacles will only raveled at the final presentation (competition). To help navigation an external camera is provided, although other sensors can be used if desired.
Points are given for the speed of reaching the target. Each participate has three trials. Trials are aborted if the robot runs into obstacles or when reaching a time limit. The robot has to stay on the target for at least 3 seconds.
