Hello
I have another idea for a mapping robot that maps out a room and it's
obstacles.
This time I think that I could use an ultrasonic sensor to map obstacles
out to a distance, then have the RCX figure out the maximum distance
that can be moved forward without hitting anything. After this, the
obstacle mapping continues, and the clear path searching finds a new
mapping line. Then the map is uploaded to a computer, and plotted. This
map could be used to plot waypoints in the room for the robot to follow
to do a task.
Now I want to know, Is this feasible? I think the only hard part
would be changing the array so that the new mapped values match in
positito with the old ones. Any ideas on this?
Andy

| Your biggest problem will be maintain accurate position information. The idea could work you just need a reliable method for calculating where the bot actually is and what direction it is pointing. (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics)
