My design team and I just recieved our Handy-Board. We plan on building
an autonomous mobile robot that will run a search program and
(hopefully) locate a 4" x 4" wooden(passive) block. The domain that it
will search in is approx. 15' x 15'. We plan on using a couple of
Polaroid ultrasonic transducers (for long range sensing), 2 to 3 IR
sensors (for short range detection), and 2 to 4 microswitches for the
bump sensors.
Were trying to get a mental handle on just how to accomplish this
project and have come up with a few questions.....
1. Can you read sensor' while your in the "move ahead" mode?
2. Will it appear to the outsider as a fluid motion or will the robot
move-stop-poll sensors-move-stop etc.?
3. Software guys kind of worried...wants to know approx. how much
memory it will take to run a program that directs a robot performing
this kind of search routine and incorporates the sensors previously
mentioned.
Thank in advance.

Turns will be an issue, you will have to work that out. (...) He is (...) (28 years ago, 18-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
