This is my brothers robot. 2 years of work.

He simply told the robot to go to the top left hand corner of the map.

Rasberrry PI on board, using hazel cast to communicate with PC.

Primary sensor is a low cost lidar, you can see the mirror on top
rotating to control the direction of the laser.

rotary encoders on the wheels, compass and gyro all contribute to some
extent.

Code is mostly java with a couple of C libraries for some hardware comms.

No, he wrote the code from scratch.

Did one of those free online uni courses where he learnt about particle filters and a few other robotics concepts.

He has gone through a lot of iterations with the hardware and software.
This was his first successful navigation run.

Next step is to implement mapping software so the robot can build up a map of its own environment.

After thats working he plans on taking over the world with an army of tank robots.
