Project Description:

robotic development

Robot needs the following functions: Dead Reckoning and Odometry provided by a simple track ball, infrared Object Avoidance, path planning.

The software can be sampled from any source, As this is a prototype not for resale. you may use online scripts/software, I just need it all put together.

WinXP Gui using the track ball data to build a site survey also for setting robot path visually with track data.
Robot does not need to understand it's environment
just follow the mapped path using the ball tracker data in the memory while using infrared sensor Object Avoidance.

If you hardware knowledge you could also provide hardware info as well. if not I will provide the hardware info specs for programing.
thanks

Newly added descriptions:
list of requirements
1. navigate using on board encoders information.

2. the ability to enter a learn mode to setup it's grid and path mapping.

3. the robot must using its sensors to avoid objects that are in it path. also to continue running the programed path minis the objects in it path.

4. return to in start point and dock with charger. (docking station) A simple example of the docking station is the Roomba Self-charging home base.

5. must integrate sensors and hardware into program. provide all necessary files to run hardware and software on robot.

6. must have means to troubleshot. maybe a simple error code
¡¡¡¡massage will work fine.

7. All motors must have a stall monitor built into the program.

8. battery monitor either software based or a additional added
¡¡¡¡hardware. which will cause the robot to return home for charging if battery fails below a set point.

9. robot must Navigate back to charging station using encoder grid map info at any time. (battery low) or return command, end of tasks

10 robot must start/stop tasks at programmable times

11. robot windowsXP interface of any type and or / language.
¡¡¡¡ Ability to set start and stop times to run internally.




Sensor will include

2 Devantech SRF05 Ultrasonic Ranger sensors front and back

6 Sharp GP2D12 IR detector sensor
Sensor facing:
northwest,northeast,southwest,southeast and 2 in the middle
on each side facing right, left.

2 Servo motor encoders

1 2Axis computer mouse like track ball encoder.

1 motor will us back-EMF “sensorless” position feedback the¡¡¡¡ qwerk has built-in support for this.

Job Type C/C++, Python 
Attached Files: N/A
