Using the interactive detection robot, the user will be able to wirelessly control the device and visually see its surroundings using the camera module. The RPLidar enables a 360\u00b0<\/strong> view of the robot’s environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial goal vs Accomplished goal <\/p>

<\/p>Our initial project expectations was to create an autonomous robot that is cable of 2D SLAM mapping a room and use that information to detect and avoid objects while optimizing the path it will be taking. Due to many difficulties with the RPLIDAR A1 and getting it to work on Robostudios, our focus for this project shifted into creating an interactive robot that allows the user to control it wirelessly and get visual feedback from the robot using the camera and lidar. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Goals Accomplished <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Finished building hardware (robot car, RPLIDAR, and RPLIDAR stand)<\/li>
  • Tested the software program using Python 3<\/li>
  • Tested robot mobility and sensors <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
