2. Introduction  Related Work  Short term goal  Long term goal  Obstacles  Our plan  Conclusion

3. Related Work  Brooks  ALLIANCE  Communication  Our simulators

4. Short Term Goal  Follow the leader  R3 ---(A2)-----> R2 -----(A2)-----> R1----(A1)-->  A more robust approach

5. Our long term goal http://crr.eng.auburn.edu/Media/Alliance_TRA.pdf

6. Long Term Goal  Moving blocks  Communication is very important  Some problems we have to over come

7. Obstacles  Computing Power  Number of Sensors  Time

8. Our plan  Make robots inside simulators  Make physical robots  Change code to match the physical robot’s operating system  Adapt robots for block moving

9. High Lights of what we have done  Installed simulators  Figured out how to adapt makefile for our new code.  Adapted a program to avoid walls  Made a program to follow the first robot it sees

10. Conclusion

11. Any Questions?
