Maze Solver



Project Plan: I would like to design and train a Robot called Maze Solver that can navigate itself through any maze build with black constructor paper.

Image result for maze solver robot

Software:
  • I am planning on using Tensorflow to train my robot to recognize the turns. 
      • I have create my own database with around 500 pictures of left, right and straight turns. 
  • I am using python as my main programming language.
  • I am also planning on using webcam to stream and take pictures. 
  • I have already built the robot with GoPiGo startup kit, Raspberry pi and Pi Camera (click here).
  • I have also connected the robot to my PC and tinkered with some of the example python code files.
Next steps:
  • I am planning on programming my robot to navigate through the maze and live feed.
  • Also start training it to recognize turns using sample pictures. 

Future work: In the future I would like my robot to water the plant after it recognizes them.

Pi setup

I imaged my SD card with Raspbian for robots OS. I used the below tutorial to do it: https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/install-raspbian-for-robots-image-on-an-sd-card/ I then put the SD card in the Raspberry pi and installed VNC viewer on my laptop. The below links are where i downloaded the VNC viewer from. https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/ I powered up my robot and connected my laptop to my robots network. Then I used VNC viewer to connect with IP 10.10.10:1 and boot up my pi and log into it with  username: pi password: robots1234 This screen should come up after you login: I followed the tutorial from below pdf to configure my pi. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1sUsr9DiI5Da0Q5cWlmN2pKZEk/view?usp=sharing

My GoPiGo solving maze using remote control

Image
I have written a python script for my pi to take picture every sec for the number of seconds i give it using webcam to increase my database. I also wrote a python script for my GoPiGo to go forward, backward, left and right based on my commands and I also lowered the speed for my pi to get accurate pictures while moving. Here is a small video Demonstrating all the tasks i mentioned above: I installed Tensorflow on my pi and I am working on my python script to use the results from tensorfow to use as input for my gopigo remote control script.
