GPS Waypoint Navigation #26

Closed camieac closed 8 years ago

camieac commented 8 years ago

We need to be able to navigate between two GPS way points. This will firstly involve driving directly between two way points with no obstacle avoidance.

After we have a working algorithm for navigating between two points, be can add more complex elements to help with obstacle avoidance.

This issue is only for the basic waypoint navigation function, e.g.

def driveTo(latitude, longitude, speed):

Or something along similar lines.

Dennis done some work with GPS in here that you may find useful, although some of it is impossible to understand. https://github.com/IonSystems/tiberius-robot/blob/master/tiberius/autonomy/mission_control.py

As of 1a1ec0314ec6cd550e34dfbee71a2f3e3f2cfd1e the GPS point-to-point algorithm looks mostly done, although we haven't had a chance to test it yet. This issue will stay open until we are happy with the algorithms and the gps-algorithms branch is commited into master with suitable tests.

The point to point algorithm was tested today and a number of problems were found. These have now been fixed in 97108e64f3334021a7b19cf95a0f9df7b614dd9a
