Hi there,

I finished my "Obstacle avoiding autonomous robot" project:

Because talking about it may take forever, i opened this topic were i'll aswer all your question about this project!

That looks pretty cool. I've been thinking of building autonomous robots myself, but with a swarm behavior. I'm curious, did you hard code the rules for obstacle avoidance? or something different?

Yes i did.

Obstacle avoiding algorithm is structured in three individual tasks(agents): travel, detection and processing. The detection task is the obstacle recognition agent and the processing task is the decision making agent.

Also, beside this three tasks i coded an aditional task for bluetooth comunication between the PC and the robot. This tasks job is to remotely send goal points and monitor robot preformances.

thanks for the information. I asked because I'm planning on writing a rule engine for lejos. In my free time I write production rule engines for fun.

This is very interesting, I'd be interested in seeing how you implemented your tasks. Would you be willing to post your code?

I haven't started coding the rule engine for lejos yet. My production rule engine is hosted on sourceforge http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jamocha.

my plan right now is to create a mini rule language for lejos and then build a rule engine around it. I've thinking about it since 2004. I hope to start on it in a few months and post it on sourceforge.

At this time i am not able to share the code... But it will be availble on my blog by the end of current year.

I look forward to reading the tasks code. it would definitely help me design a lejos rule language.

Very good idea friend.

I'd love to see your code, Dan. Can you share?
