In this demo, the robot locates the purple “chair” and autonomously navigates to it.
We defined a target destination for the robot to push the “chair” to. In the following video, the robot performs this task on the green “chair” (while avoiding the unpainted box). Unfortunately, the wire got caught and threw off the robots trajectory towards the end.
Our final result accomplished the main criteria that we wanted to achieve: mapping a space, detecting “chairs”, navigating to an object, and moving it. For the scope of our project, we simplified the chairs/tables to boxes on a smaller scale.
