Workshop Days 3 and 4 (June 20-21)

 For the last two days we have been mainly working on the project for the workshop that deals with planning the path of a robot. Each team has been assigned a name based on the name of a robot - STAN (Stanley - Stanford U.'s autonomous car), SFOX (Silver Fox UAV), TNAO (Team Nao - the humanoid robot). Each team has to plan the path of the robot so that it can print its name using the Sharpie pen attached to it. This project illustrates many fundamental aspects of the motion of the differential wheels-based e-puck robot such as how long and at what speed to rotate its wheels to control its motion, waypoint-based navigation, etc. Teams which finished working on this project started working on a robot dance - flashing lights and moving the robots in a rhythm. We will demo these projects at the end of workshop presentations on Friday. Pictures and videos from the two days are below.
