Education & Curriculum

Like humans, robots need structured environments for smooth collective operations. Researchers study how to coordinate robots, but it's a complex challenge, especially with different kinds of robots in the same space. A particular problem is how two robots navigate an intersection when crossing paths.

A robot in a shared path space can simply obey standard traffic signals using machine vision, with no special background coordination required. This mini-project at Bittle-scale is traffic signals for a T-intersection. As Bittle adds multi-sensing and machine vision, this method is ready to test. It is also good curriculum for basic control logic and discrete electronics, and then as a machine vision demo.
