Abstract:
Autonomous robots are becoming a part of everyday life. One difficulty in the creation of autonomous robots is having the robots avoid objects. In particular once one has chosen an algorithm difficulty arises in perfecting the parameters involved. Presented here is an implementation of an algorithm and an education support tool add-on to MOOS that allows the end user to quickly vary the parameters to test the performance of the system.
