WifiBot - 2015
Our task was to create a wifibot controller from scratch, using the
software they provided as an example. We were to add a GPS path
creation tool as well.
I started by creating a simulation for the wifibot, mainly to figure
how the path creation and tracking would pan out.
I then noticed that the current controller / model was very rough, making
it hard to control the WifiBot. When creating the new client to control the
bot, I made sure to improve on the maneuverability.
The Simulator
The Client - Control Software
- Gamepad and inputs
- GPS path creation and execution
- Data formatting and sending to the server on the bot
- Bot handling improved using simple physics models
