 BUG2 ALgorithm Implementation HI guys,
As part of my project I had to implement the BUG2 algorithm in NXT.
The whole project was to implement 4 such algorithms and compare them.
BUG2 is an algorithm which achieves autonomous navigation in unknown environments by using only touch sensing. It uses no RTOS as this is a limitation set.
It is not legal to give the final version here. I present a version which is almost full working.
To get it working you need to set the following variables:
float TY = 120.0; //The Target Y coordinate
float TX = 70.0; // The Target X xoordinate
const float WheelDistance= 11.6 ; //the distance between the two wheels
const float wheelDiameter = 5.6;//diameter of the wheel
It is somehow an old version and a bit dirty but it works almost fine.
Hope you find it interesting.
Here is the code:

//*!! !!*//
//*!!Start automatically generated configuration code. !!*//

hi,
nice program  -
although some things seems to me quite familiar 
your program seems to work as kind of a single task formulation whereas my navigator
viewtopic.php?t=455
is based more on a multi tasking architecture.
To be more flexilble at different challenges I defined the most needed routines in a header file:
But of course, all of our odometric functions are working the same way.
Further on it would be very interesting to me how you implemented a compass heading correction of your courses (if you intended to do that). Meanwhile I tried a lot, but it's not trivial to do while the robot is moving: the position calculation error with simultaneously compass correction causes bigger miscalculations than without. So I do this currently only when the robot has stopped in between different movings.

what do you mean by "compass heading correction"?
Do you mean how i am keeping track of the direction?

hi again,
I have seen your program....
It seems a good implementation, unfortunately I have no time to look it more....
I use no multitasking as this is a limitations set for the work.

odometric navigation (counting the motor encounter ticks and thus calculting the movement) often is not valid enough (e.g. if wheels are slipping or when pushing with 1 wheel at an obstacle. so this miscalculation maybe can be reduced when you are reading the compass heading (if you got one).
(sorry for my English)

Hi,
I have made my own touch sensor which kind of surrounds the whole robot so there is no way that it will be pushing an obstacle with one motor.
Regarding the compass thing, I assume that the environment is not slippery...
The main idea of the project is to check if such algorithms, under so basic hardware could always come up with the right answer (reach the target or conclude on a finite amount of time that the target is not reachable).
A sort answer is that these algorithms they will always come up with an answer as long as the environment satisfies the limitations set (such as not slippery).
A question raised is who decides about these limitations and if these limitations are likely to be true in a real environment....

hi,
now I found a good understandable reference to the Bug2, and thus I finally understood your appoach
http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~hager/Teaching/c ... ug-Alg.pdf
good work !
