Reinforcement learning of line following and obstacle avoidance. Testing VEX Cortex Robots using VEXnet (cont. Navigation through mazes, building maps, and path planning.Įxercises and techniques for using groups of robots. Programming help for the VEX LCD Screen / VEX Remote Screen can be found in the ROBOTC Help documentation under ROBOTC Functions > Display.

Obstacle avoidance, wall following, etc.Ĭombining reactive control with deliberative control. Reasoning on state information to produce control output.Įxercises showing reactive control. How to control a robot to achieve and maintain a desired state. Infra-red, sonar, laser, and camera sensors. Methods for making the robot move around in an intelligent manner. Sensors, effectors, and actuators commonly used in robots. It is generally best to start with the Prerequisites and Introduction sections before moving on.ĭescription of the hardware and software needed for the exercises.īrief description of what to expect in the sections, with examples. The sections are ordered so as to become gradually more challenging, and to cover all levels of robot programming experience and interest.

An optional addition to the Create robot is the Gumstix computer, a small self contained computer about the size of a piece of gum. The exercises make use of the iRobot Create, a low-cost programmable mobile robot platform available from iRobot. You will find a wide range of exercises in the sections below, from simple sensing to group robotics and robot learning. This workbook is designed as a general introduction to robotic programming. The Workbook is a stand-alone resource as well as a companion for 'The Robotics Primer' by Maja J Mataric', published by MIT Press in June 2007.
