OK, now you have some good hacking skills - now let's take them to the next level:
The project will pull on all the skills you have developed so far but
will provide a set of new skills needed to do cross development and
embedded systems programming and debugging. This completes the hackers toolkit that you can be proud of. We will do
distributed programming using sockets, mutable threads for embedded
Linux.
We
have added a mote sensor to the bot that allows it to interact with a
sensor network built across the CS department. We have also added a
camera to the bot. You will write the controller that runs on your
laptop and the server side on the rob - all in C and Linux. Once your
ready your bot will go on a treasure hunt. The final task is the CS23
remote controlled bot race.
There are no lectures during the last two weeks of the course.
During this time you will be working in teams programming Gracia
robots.
