Robotics, Science & Systems -- Team 3 -- Spring 2018

Programmed small scale yet complex robot on the Robot Operating System on RACECAR platform (with Velodyne LiDAR)

Racecar

Topics

Wall Following: Drove autonomously 0.5 meters away from a given wall with safety controller

Visual Servoing: Implemented a PD control algorithm to park the race car in front of the cone; implemented similar control algorithm to make racecar follow a bright orange line on the ground.

Localization and Mapping: Implemented Monte Carlo Localization algorithm. Evaluated performance in the RACECAR simulation, RViz and the real car platform in MIT’s basement.

Motion Planning and Control: Implemented system that rapidly exploring random trees (modified as RRT*) for path planning and pure pursuit for simultaneous tracking.

The Labyrinth: Navigated a maze of randomly placed obstacles, with no prior knowledge of the environment, and without collisions by generating & updating a map of environment using SLAM, developing a path planning algorithm, and designing a trajectory controller for car to follow a path closely
