IR Floor Sensors Navigate along the black tape Ultrasonic Sensor Determine distance from towers Way to cross-reference perceived location from tape navigation $2.50 model has a resolution of 1cm and a working range from 2cm-500cm IR Beacon Sensors Used for localization in the Safe Space Small range (max of ~80 cm for $10 model) Robot Navigation Hardware
Motion Planning • Localization • Rotate 360° to determine direction of the IR beacon, use sonar to orient itself perpendicular to the wall. • Turn around and find 3-way tape intersection. • Line up the shot: • Follow tape until centered at the 4-way intersection. • Turn left, move forward until the end of tape. • Shoot ball until 25% duty cycle. • If first criterion is met, back up to 4-way intersection, turn right. • Repeat Part 2 until second criterion is met. • If it runs out of balls, return to safe space.
