Short Term Goal
 Follow the leader

Long Term Goal
 Moving blocks
 Communication is very important
 Some problems we have to over come
Obstacles
 Computing Power
 Number of Sensors
 Time
Our plan
 Make robots inside simulators
 Make physical robots
 Change code to match the physical
robot’s operating system
 Adapt robots for block moving
High Lights of what we have
done
 Installed simulators
 Figured out how to adapt makefile for
our new code.
 Adapted a program to avoid walls
 Made a program to follow the first robot it
sees
Conclusion
Any Questions?
