Path Planning
In this tutorial we are introducting the possibility of controlling a robot using an overhead camera (possibly
one mounted on the ceiling) to control a robot to move around an arena. It is assumed that the camera is stable
and does not move during the robot execution.
The following is what such a potential arena looks like from an overhead camera.
The small red marks are electrical tape stuck to a black metallic surface. The green arrow is a small piece
of cardboard with green electrical tape attached in the form of an arrow. This cardboard is placed above a
Parallax Boe-Bot in order to easily identify the robot from overhead.
The first step is to identify all the parts in the arena. This includes the waypoints and the robot plus its
orientation. First we will start with detecting the robot.
