Advanced AI for Robotics - PROJECT.
A robotics company named Trax has created a line of small self-driving robots designed to autonomously traverse desert environments in search of undiscovered water deposits.
A Traxbot looks like a small tank. Each one is about half a meter long and drives on two continuous metal tracks. In order to maneuver itself, a Traxbot can do one of two things: it can drive in a straight line or it can turn. So to make a right turn, A Traxbot will drive forward, stop, turn x degrees, then continue driving straight.
This series of questions involves the recovery of a rogue Traxbot. This bot has gotten lost somewhere in the desert and is now stuck driving in an almost-circle: it has been repeatedly driving forward by some step size, stopping, turning a certain amount, and repeating this process... Luckily, the Traxbot is still sending all of its sensor data back to headquarters.
In this project, we will start with a simple version of this problem and gradually add complexity. By the end, you will have a fully articulated plan for recovering the lost Traxbot.
