Preamble

In complex ground environment, obstacles positions are uncertain. Path finding for robots in such environment is very hot issues currently. This project includes the design and implementation of a multi-sensor based path finding autonomous exploration robot system. A novel path finding method integrating line tracking and obstacle avoidance algorithms will be proposed and implemented.

Objective

Design and implement path finding solutions to solve the problems described above.

Partial Specifications

(1) The path finding algorithm should be efficient. It should effectively solve path finding problem in complex ground environment and avoid collision with the obstacles
(2) The path finding method for robot system should also work in the environment when obstacle locations updating in real-time.

Suggested Approach

(1) Software development in Python or RobotC.
(2) Implement and evaluate the algorithms on various type of robots

Group Responsibilities
