Extended
If you want to continue exploring Webots, the extended activities may give you more of a challenge. They are unlikely to be achievable unless you have prior programming experience.
If you are interested in getting a head start on learning programming before you come to Coventry Univeristy, talk to the academic staff for suggestion and recommendations.
Line follow with avoidance
Simulation of a line following track with obstacles from a competition such as the enhanced competition at RobotChallenge.
- Open Webots.
- File -> Open World
- Select the worlds/linefollow.wbt file from the folder containing this file.
- Move the robot to the second course (features 3 obstacle blocks).
- Create your own version of the avoid controller to navigate the course as quickly as possible whilst avoiding the objects on the line.
- Some code has been provided to get you started in the avoid_py controller.
