Advanced Chair Movement Details

This module will start out with the chair movement already written, and devise a way to make it work in a more confined space (EB 2029). The major problem with this is getting the robot to know the chair is in front, and ignore that point.

 

Refine Code That is Already Written

Brad has done some research and development with this subject in Release 2. We are going to evaluate the reliability of this algorithm and determine if we should continue refining the module for use in the final release. We have an alternate approach that will be researched concurrently.

 

Define Algorithm for Advanced Chair Movement

After coming to some conclusions after our research, we will choose an algorithm to use while navigating the room with a chair. We will utilize this time to devise pseudo-code and test cases to see if this algorithm is sound prior to implementation. It will also be useful to elicit feedback from the rest of the group to hear their opinions of the approach.

 

Code Algorithm

This time will be spent converting our research and pseudo-code into a fully functioning code module.

 

Test Module

This time will be spent testing our code module against some of the test cases defined in the earlier stages of this release. It will also be useful to elicit testing scenarios from the rest of the group.
