  1. In association with ICT ShowRoom 8th of March2012 A tournament of Autonomous Sumo Robots Students of ”Embedded Systems 1” –course DegreeProgramme in Information Technology Turku University of Applied Sciences

  2. Organization • Studentdrivenprojectwork • No lectures, and no exam • 5 credits = 5 * 27 h = 135 h workload • Class roomreservations; • Monday: 13.15 – 16.00 • Thursday: 8.15 – 16.00 • Teachers willcheck the projectmilestones • Availabilityfor technicalconsultations • Vesa: Thursdaysat 8.15-12.00 • JP: Thursdays, no permanenttime • Tapani: Thursdays, no permanenttime

  3. Sumo Robottournament in ICT ShowRoom • Willuse Mini Sumo rulesfrom the BalticRobotSumo event • http://www.balticrobotsumo.org/ • ICT-ShowRoom 2012 • Registration open till the end of January2012 • http://www.facebook.com/ictshowroom • https://xprog28.cs.abo.fi/register.nsf/

  4. Material available • ParallaxSumoBot® Robot toolkit • Cannotuse the microcontroller and the programmingenvironment • Canuseallotherparts, e.g. robotbody, batteryholder, servos, sensors • Atmel AVR ButterflyStarterkit (batteryempowered demo with ATmega169) • Youmustmodifyit in order to programit • Extracomponents, sensorsoractuatorsbased on yourown design • Someavailablealready, somerequiresseparatepurshaseorders

  5. Assessment • The gradeaccumulatesfrom the milestones, and ”the thingsthatareappreciated” (seelater). • Teachers maysuggestdifferentgrade for differentparticipants (based on perceivedcontribution) • The groupcanre-divide the grade (e.g. threemembersgettingallgrade 4 cangive 5 to onememberifonetakes 3)

  6. Milestones (1/2) • Milestone 1: Initial design, and projectplan • Hardware design e.g. which AVR portsareused • Developmentenvironment design • Separatetest hardware? Use of version controlsystem? Implementation and testingplan? • Software design e.g. statemachine, functionprototypes • Milestone2: Project review • Progressis demonstrated, and potentialproblemsand/orgoodsolutionsarediscussed

  7. Milestones (2/2) • Milestone 3: Ready for ICT ShowRoom • Enrollmentdone, posterready, robotnamed • Doyouhave an extra ”productstory”? • Ifyoureallywant to compete for the ICT ShowRoomprice, youprobablyneed to presentyourrobot as somethingelsethansumobot • Milestone 4: ICT ShowRoom and Tournament

  8. ”Things that are appreciated” (1/2) • Well-managedproject in whichallparticipantshave a clearrole, and equalwork-load • Goodfinalproduct, and success in the tournament • Goodpresence in ICT ShowRoom, and informativeposter • Appropriatedocumentation (notnecessarilymuch) • Well-managed software developmentprocess (e.g. the use of version controlsystem)

  9. ”Things that are appreciated” (2/2) • Specialtechnicalchallenge: usage of extracomponents, real-timeconsiderations, etc • Well-managed software and hardware testing • Active participation, and presence in classroom • Intelligent playing strategy • Clear, short, high-qualitycode (e.g. severalimplementations of the samefunctionality)

  10. Supportlectures • 19.1. at 12.30 • JP Paalassalo: ”Debugging and test design” • 26.1. at 8.15 • Vesa Torvinen: ”Using version controlsystem” • 2.2. at 12.30 • JP Paalassalo: ”Poster design”

  11. Purchase Orders • If you need extra components, sensors or actuators for your design • Check available parts in www.elfa.se • Send shopping cart information to jp.paalassalo@turkuamk.fi • In the best case, the parts arrive the next day • Other distributors and vendors may take longer time • Especially non-EU purchases may take several weeks

  12. Teams and tutor teachers • Jules Debra and Julien Meichelbeck (JP) • DavideBerdin and TillRiemer(Vesa) • Lukas Kern and Niko Nieminen (JP) • Jere Sinisalo and Joonas Kuusela (Vesa) • Tomohito Kato and Tomi Leppälehto (JP) • Juha Mäkelä, Raine Kuusisto and Jari Knuutila (Vesa) • Vesa Torvinen and Tapani Männistö
