Hello!
I just wanted to to tell about a project that we are working at. We are two
students and our instructor at the university in Gavle, Sweden. You can find
more information about the project at:
http://w1.270.telia.com/~u27005072/

Abstract
The expected result for this work is to show how a robot can gather
information about its surroundings and with the help of algorithms find a
way to a target. The information-collection is for example done by camera
and the robot learns to find its way in the environment. The general problem
is termed simultaneous localisation and mapping in which the robot is
required to automatically learn a map of its environment and use this map for
automatic estimation of its own position. A complete mathematical model for
its motions will be available. The technology used for realisation is LegOs
developed by Mindstorms. As a basis for the project the use of personal
contacts and references to earlier workings on algorithms are important.
Calculations and models for the robot will be taken forward and used in the
process. Hence transition diagrams and evaluating of these are made in
MATLAB/Simulink. The robot has two motors, a few light-censors and also
pressure-censors as a default.

Fredrik, I notice you are planning on using MATLAB/Simulink for simulating transition diagrams and testing your design. Did you know that if you have Real-Time Workshop you can generate auto-code for the MindStorm it self without having to recode or (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
