Center of the Room Robot
A robot that uses a distance sensor and a bunch of math to find the center of a four walled space

The Center of the Room Robot is a friendly robotic assistant for finding the center of any space with four walls. It uses its single distance sensor to scan the distance between itself and the walls of the room, tracking its readings. It uses some clever math to calculate how many cm off center from the room it is, then moves accordingly to the center. Its movement is proportional to how off center it is, making for more accurate movement. All the while, its lights change color to indicate what it’s thinking, and it will speak to everyone nearby, telling them directly what it is doing. The process can be repeated or easily modified to increase accuracy.
Nice job using proportional control (:
this is some intense math, super cool!
The concept behind this seems really complicated, and you did a great job making it accomplish your goal!
I like how clear the robot is! Its a very useful tool i have never seen before
I loved how polite your robot was! It works really well
It works very well! I like the talking it does in each phase.
I see how this could be applied in so many industries, looks like a great use case! (I also discovered you can open the speaker up)
I like the talking and that is really intense math! Good Job!
I like how the robot tells you everything it’s doing so that you don’t just watch a robot move around the room without clearly knowing why. Nice job!
It’s pretty accurate and complex! Very nice!
Love how you used state machines for this!
I really liked how well it worked
Impressive – I would have loved to see a flow chart of the code and algorithm. I appreciated all the mathematics and algorithm development that went into it.
very creative idea
Honestly didn’t know this was something you could do with a robot. It’s amazing how innovative this is, as well as how well it worked!
it was really cool to see proportional controls! I would have never figured out how to do it for rooms with a length of longer than the maximum distance for the distance sensor
very creative i didnt think you could do this with the robot very cool and well polished.
Like it a lot. Very streamline.
This is really impressive. I like that you are getting data as the robot scans instead of when the robot is complete.
