Path Finding Algorithm

These are the instructions for running the algorithm for the MDP task

Visualise the path using GUI (Checklist component)

  1. Clone this repo, compile and run Simulator.java

  2. You will see a pop up window

  3. Copy and paste the following onto the right most text box

    1 1 90
5 7 270 17
5 13 180 35
12 9 0 31
15 15 270 16
15 4 90 34
0 19 270 22

    This is the configuration file

    The first line represents [robot X coordinate, robot Y coordinate, robot direction]

    The subsequent lines reprsent [obstacle x coordinate, obstacle y coordinate, obstacle direction, obstacle photo id]

  4. Click on the Generate Arena From Configuration Button

  5. You should see (or may not see depending on how you placed the obstacles) a sample of the arena

  6. Click the front and back arrows to see how the robot moves. Note that it does not capture diagonal movements well

Socket Connection (Task 1 and 2)

  1. Ensure that the Raspberry PI server is running first
  2. Configure your address and port of where you want to connect to 
    String address = "192.168.12.1";
int port = 10003;
AlgoServer.algoServer(address, port);
  3. Compile and run Server.java
  4. You can send messages to the server via the command line
  5. You will also receive messages sent from the server

Additional Tip

Socket connections were tested without the need for RPI by downloading this TCP/IP tool onto a smartphone device
