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.
