Project Outline:

Project Statement:

e.g. “

The path markers are 4 feet 1.2m long by 6 in 15 cm wide. The Path is colored ORANGE. Each path markers is placed directly after the current task and points to the next task. The path is a straight segment. No points are awarded for following the path, the path is intended to help guide the AUV to the next task. There are two path markers to aid in navigation. One path marker is positioned at the gate that points to the Navigate the Channel Slalom task. From the Navigate the Channel, the second path points to another task (to be decided in a community poll). Those are the only path segments which can be used to visually orient the AUV to the next task.”

The goal of this task is to align the robot with a distinct orange path marker to help find the next task.

Outcome:

A successful outcome of this project would be to have autonomy to make inter-task navigation.

Inputs:
