How to Incorporate Wall Following with Autonomy Lab #83

Closed JordanD7 closed 3 years ago

JordanD7 commented 3 years ago

Would I be able to use this GitHub to incorporate wall following for my iRobot Create 2?

Sure, I imagine it is possible. Without any additional sensors you could try using the raw light sensor values or the bumpers directly to detect walls. Though, it might be easier to equip your create with a sensor that gives you a concrete distance (e.g. a sonar or IR ranger).

Since this is not a feature I would consider adding directly to create_autonomy, I'm closing this ticket. But feel free to continue commenting.

Thank you for the advice.
