Brief Introduction:
This is the first time a robot soccer game is
organized at Georgia Southwestern State University. Hardware
platform is based on the
Lego mindstorms Nxt
set. The software controllers of both teams are
developed based on NXT# library.The controller
uses bluetooth to communicate with the NXT brick of our
robot. We added key mappings to the sample programs provided
by NXT# and successfully improved the efficiency of the
software controller. Click the links on the left to check

Brief Introduction:
Robot map explorer is a very challenging
project. We are required to take advantage of the
ultrasound sensor and plot the whole 2-D territory map
of a building with all lights out. The complexity of this project
comes in multiple folds. First of all, we had the
trouble of rotating ultrasound sonar -- we could not
even finish one full circle of the rotation because the
USB cable was entangled with the robot chassis during
rotation. The second problem we had is the accuracy of
sonar. With the assistance of Dr. Fu, we managed to
build a complete suite of software simulator and
controller which can not only control the robot via
Bluetooth wireless but also simulate the exploration of
our robot in a virtual environment.
