| + | ===== Let a robot swarm get around home! ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Robot swarms have very limited knowledge of their environment and therefore, moving around a complex environment (i.e., room with obstacles, building, ...) is a complex task. The idea of this project is to allow an overhead multi-camera tracking system -- that has a complete vision and knowledge of the environment -- to interact with a robot swarm in order to help the swarm move to a specific goal in the environment (for instance, moving from the kitchen to a bedroom of a house). | ||
| + | The multi-camera tracking system's software is already developed. The student will be supposed to (i) develop a GUI that allows a human operator to specify a goal in the environment, (ii) design and implement a communication protocol (between the tracking system and the robot swarm) that guarantees efficiency and scalability and finally, (iii) test the interaction system in a simulated environment. | ||
