Raspberry Pi Robotics is a low entry point architecture for experimenting with hands on robotics and programming. This project goes beyond the beginning lessons associated with micro-controller robotic projects by introducing GPS navigation and swarm robotic algorithms by taking advantage of the Raspberry Pi 0s on board wireless adapter. By turning each raspberry pi into a wireless access point, we open up the possibility to experiment with well known flocking algorithms, and research and experiment with swarm robotic strategies. Swarm robotics is a field of robotics, where individual robots are programmed to work in concert to accomplish a task. Students will work in three steps as follows: Introduction to Raspberry PIs and initial Robot build. Students will learn basic linux/unix, the python language used for interacting with the on board GPIO associated with the PI 0, and basic programming in support to controlling motors, reading sensors, and interacting with the PI camera. Antonymous Navigation using GPS, tele robotics (designing a user interface for controlling the robot remotely) and using other sensors to help with local navigation, such as distance sensors. Swarm robotic algorithms, and applications. Students will research and develop code that allows all robots in a swarm to communicate with each other and divide tasks, and work together for navigation, exploration, localized task completion, etc. If successful, students will use the lessons learned to organize competitions, or share their design in an open source model with a larger community.
