- Focus on cooperative behaviors - Formation Control
- We don't have any cooperative behaviors
- Would make for lots of cool demos
- Budget ideas
- Additional parts/sensors for robot upkeep (encoders, BOM 1.5)
- SURG ideas - choose an idea next Friday (2/27)
- Colony RTS
- Focus on cooperative behaviors
- We don't have any cooperative behaviors
- What to ask for in budget?
- Simulator
- Overhead robot tracker (camera + computer vision)
- Localization in a given map (it's easier than mapping!)
- A specific application
- pushing plants around
- detecting oil spills?
- detecting (in some really simple way) and surrounding an object
- cooperative area coverage (useful for detecting mines or as a sensor net)
- cooperative robot patrols
- Adaptive learning
- Robots have a specific optimization goal
- No initial model of robots/environment
- Robots build model of themselves and environment system through experiments
- Next experiments are chosen based on results of previous experiments to maximize exploration of the configuration space
- Robots win every time (eventually)
- Cooperative plant growing
- Robots start out with access to soil/pots, seeds, water, and light sources (modified to be easily manipulable)
- Apply learning algorithm to maximize some parameter (seed germination time, sprout height after a week, tastiness?)
- This is how we distinguish ourselves from MIT's distributed robotics garden
- Watch robots grow plants!
- PIKMIN!
- Combination of Colony RTS and cooperative manipulation
