Roomba Comes to LIVE???

June 8, 2006 5:22 pm

A peek at what i made the Roomba to do. Unfortunately the turning is controlled poorly and still trying to find a way to solve it.

Sent Instructions:

1) Move forward at 500mm/s for 250ms

2) Turn left with radius 200mm at 200mm/s for 90 degrees

3) Move forward at 500mm/s for 250ms

4) Trace back the route moving backwards

As you can see it didn't align in the exact same way as started. Possibly due to the grip on floor….I dunno. Sorry for the poor quality…it's from my mobile phone and I didn't have time to charge my digital camera.

Any comments welcomed

View the short video!

heres the one with slower straight speed….speed in this case reduced to 300mm/s, but set to move twice as long. Seems to be better…I dunno. What do you all think???

It’s very nice to see it moving under control! I think it’s ok that it didn’t align excatly as it started. As long as we can send in a comment say “move forward for 10m then turn 90degree” is good enough. And I guess moving backwards is slightly different to moving forward which might be why it didn’t align excatly. Good luck!
