Visualising Sensor Data using APL on the Robot
As described in a recent post, our robot now has an Infra-Red distance sensor, which allows us to measure the distance from the front of the robot to the nearest obstacle. With respect to the autonomous navigation code that we wish to write, this will be the cornerstone! In order to evalute the perfomance of […]
C3Pi Opens Eyes at the APL Moot

The day before, the C3Pi also travelled to an OSHUG meeting in London on Thursday, where Romilly Cocking was talking about quick2link. Alas, poor C3Pi was […]

I’ve extended the control program which was used to make last week’s figure 8 video to give me some “hand controls”. I do appreciate that it is inadvisable for humans to […]
