Programming & Simulation Lecture 1 Slides

The document introduces programming assignments for a course on mobile robot control and simulation. It states that assignments will involve implementing concepts from the course in a MATLAB-based mobile robot simulator. The first assignment requires students to install MATLAB and familiarize themselves with the simulator. Completing the optional weekly assignments provides an opportunity to apply course equations to navigating a simulated robot and learn MATLAB, which could also be used to test concepts on a real robot built in the course.

Introduction to the Programming Assignments

Control of Mobile Robots: Programming & Simulation Week 1


Jean-Pierre de la Croix
ECE Ph.D. Candidate
Georgia Inst. of Technology

Overview
The purpose of the programming assignments is to
implement concepts from the course on a simulated
analogue of a mobile robot.
All assignments will be completed in a MATLAB-based
mobile robot simulator.
The weekly assignments are optional.
Each assignment can be submitted for
feedback.

Bridging the Gap

Why are the programming assignments worth your time?


1. They are a unique opportunity to apply the equations in this course
to an interesting problem: safely navigating a mobile robot through
a cluttered environment.
2. You will learn MATLAB, a powerful tool for engineers.
3. Bonus: If you are building the QuickBot in this course, then
everything can be tested on this robot!

Programming Assignment for Week 1

The objective of this first assignment is to install and


familiarize yourself with MATLAB, and run the simulator.
Go to the Programming Assignments section on the
course page for detailed instructions.

MATLAB

MATLAB is a numerical computing environment and a


programming language.
Thanks to support from MathWorks, a license for MATLAB
and all required toolboxes will be available for the duration
of the course (Jan. 20 Mar. 31).
The Programming Assignments
section on the course page will
provide links to resources for
learning MATLAB concepts.

Sim.I.am

MATLAB-based simulator
for mobile robots.
Provides a faithful
analogue of the robot in
this course, QuickBot.
Includes a detailed user
manual for all
assignments.
