    this is a possible way we can program the line folllower excluding the ultrasonic sensor
  •  
    you can use the ultra sonic sensor for the maze bot later

HowStuffWorks "Roomba Navigation" - 2 views

  • While Roomba is cleaning, it avoids steps (or any other kind of drop-off) using four infrared sensors on the front underside of the unit. These cliff sensors constantly send out infrared signals, and Roomba expects them to immediately bounce back. If it's approaching a cliff, the signals all of a sudden get lost. This is how Roomba knows to head the other way

      this is how the roomba detects cliffs
  • Roomba can clean for about two hours on a single charge. If you have the self-charger, Roomba will return and connect to the charger all by itself when the battery power is low (the self-charger is sold as an add-on to the Roomba base model but comes included on most of the higher Discovery models). It accomplishes this using the infrared receiver on its front bumper. When the battery power gets low, the vacuum starts looking for the infrared signal emitted by the charger. Once it finds it, Roomba follows the signal and docks itself to the charger. Some robotic vacuums with this self-charging feature will head back out to resume cleaning once they're fully recharged

    this shows why cliiff sensors are needed and how they work

Wall Follower - Top View - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    Another great video for wall detectio using the ultrasonic sensor.
  •  
    this is a great video because it enables the robot to keep track of the wall it is following and be on the look out for other walls to trace. this could also work for us because we have 3 motors: 2 for drving and turning and 1 for the ultra- sonic sensor

HowStuffWorks "Roomba Navigation" | Diigo - 1 views

  •  
    When Roomba knocks into something, its bumper retracts, activating mechanical object sensors that tell Roomba it has encountered an obstacle. It then performs (and repeats) the sequential actions of backing up, rotating and moving forward until it finds a clear path.
  •  
    I like how this shows all the different types of sensors and where they are, and what path the roomba takes

NXT Wall Follower with Ultrasonic Sensor - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    these people placed the ultra sonic sensor on the front so the robot will never lose trsc of the wall

    the robot designs on this page are possible for our criteria. the majority of them have a ramp like structure on the front for pushing and flipping

  •  
    the ramp on the front seems to be the easiest way to win based on other designs ive seen.
  •  
    this has some good ideas
  •  
    the terminator looks like a fun approach to this project
  •  
    i wish i could see some of the videos but i cant right now i wanted to see if thee were any changes to ramp in general
  •  
    the sumobotofdestruction looks cool and doable

  • light sensor moved towards, and then away, from the line edge, (and then again towards, and then away, and so on…) as shown in the two photos below.
  •  
    I know we don't have 2 light sensors but it is nice to know one way of doing it

Line Follower - LabVIEW for Lego MINDSTORMS Projects - 3 views

  • 3. In case the lighting in the room changes, could you program your line follower to re-calibrate the light sensor when you push a button?
    • Thomas Helm
       
      could b useful later on to look into
  •  
    Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach In this activity, we will learn how to create a robot that follows a line on the ground. It will use one light sensor to sense where the line is, and use this to control the motors to steer the car and stay on the line.

    I know it doesn't say much but this single-motored nxt can rotate it's ultrasonic sensor allowing it to see multiple walls at once

    This is im pretty sure everything we have

    i think that this is a great idea
  •  
    this would probably work very well and if we added a touch sensor *i dont know if they had one* which would activate the ultrasonic sensor and it would search and pick a path
  •  
    That was a good idea declan thanks buddy

    i thing that this proves that a big plow in the front may be a good idea
  •  
    Jarid had posted a link as well with the plow as a v shape. this would work if your going for pushing someone off the table

    this shows that the robots will be better at pushing if that have alot of torque
  •  
    shows a great example of an inclined plane
