A SwiftBot (also known as Trilobot) is a Raspberry Pi powered robot used throughout the first year of Computer Science at Brunel University of London.
- 2x front wheel drive, 1x rear castor
- Four tactile buttons and status LEDs
- Six-zone RGB underlighting
- Front facing ultrasound distance sensor and camera mount.
This assignment implements a traffic light system where the robot should perform a different task based on the detected colour.
When the program finishes executing, it should also produce a log of execution in a text file.
In addition to the mimimum requirements of the assignment, I have added several additional features to this project:
- Create profiles on the program to store prefrences such as:
- Username and password
- Default colour shown during search for lights.
- Choice of mode between “default” and “emergency".
- Different modes:
- Default mode: SwiftBot will behave normally and adhere to the traffic lights as part of the basic requirements above.
- Emergency mode: SwiftBot will avoid any traffic light unless it is green. If a traffic light is detected, it should go around it in a “C” shape.
- Retrace steps that are stored in a stack throughout the program.
