Robot Project

We are designing a robot simulation that will test metrics for the robot escaping a maze. The robot is considered out of the maze after all sensors read infinity. This simulation times the procedure and records the number of steps taken to get out of the maze.

In our scenario, the robot has a set limit of time to escape a burning building. This will represent an escape feature of a search and rescue robot. With time permitting, we will also implement the robot with heat sensors to detect fire on the wall or on the opposite side of the wall. The robot then will have to determine the safest route opposed to the quickest route out of the building.

This is the startup screen.

This is the maze environment that we will be testing our metrics with.

This is the robot traversing through the building while in full autonomy.

This is the robot traversing through the building while in semi-autonomous mode.
