MEGR 3090: Design Webpage
By: Joseph Petite
PROJECT PHASE 3
Going into Phase 3 of this course I decided to take on a whole new approach to internet controlled robotics. I feel that through the completion of various previous assignments I have become very comfortable with both Python and Raspberry Pi as well as controlling them over the internet through means such as Blynk and human activated responses. It is for these reasons that I decided to broaden my horizons as well as my newfound knowledge by incorporating it into a new medium. The platform I intend to use for this part of the course is autonomous robotics used to navigated courses or avoid objects.
LESSONS LEARNED
-
The first thing I learned through this assignment was how to format code to represent decision making and reaction.
-
The next thing I learned through this project was how to improve my utilization of functions. Doing this has allowed me to streamline my code into a short and concise code loop.
-
Another thing I learned was how to effectively alter a robots reaction to continuously changing landscape and, in real time, make decisions for what the best course of action may be.
-
The last thing I learned was how critical battery drain can be and how it can severely alter actions with calculated times.
